Hi,

In the GLPK documentation, paragraph "2.1.3 Thread Safety" states:

"The standard version of GLPK API is not thread safe and therefore should not 
be used in multi-threaded programs.”

Does it mean that two threads can not solve two independent LP/MIP 
simultaneously?
For example, I am running a multi-threaded program where each thread is solving 
a different MIP, and I am experiencing a segmentation fault.
I tried to analyzed the problem with GDB and looks like the seg fault is 
happening when one thread free the memory of its own MIP.

Could the non-thread safety be the reason of the segmentation fault?

I put the function call that creates and solves the MIP within a mutex 
lock/unlock and the segmentation fault is not happening, so I guess that 
answers my question.
But if that’s the reason, is there a workaround or  thread-safe GLPK version?
The mutex reduces heavily the performance of my program.

Thanks.
Best Regards,
Simone
