Thanks for reply, I got it. Now the problem is my APIs does not expose apr_pool_t to user like apr, so my APIs are not thread safe.

From apr_pools.h: * Note that most operations on pools are not thread-safe: a single pool * should only be accessed by a single thread at any given time. The one * exception to this rule is creating a subpool of a given pool: one or more * threads can safely create subpools at the same time that another thread * accesses the parent pool. The pool system allows multiple threads to use multiple pools. There is no point trying to make apr_palloc "thread-safe" as the API is not designed to work that way. Even if apr_palloc was "thread-safe" how would apr_pool_clear work?
