Ted Ross created PROTON-30:
------------------------------
Summary: The driver cannot be cleanly used in a multi-threaded
application due to pn_driver_wait
Key: PROTON-30
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-30
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Wish
Components: proton-c
Reporter: Ted Ross
An efficient multi-threaded application based on proton-c will want to have one
thread blocked on pn_driver_wait if there's no other work for it to do.
Unfortunately, pn_driver_wait does thread-unsafe things with internal driver
data structures before and after it blocks on the FD set.
The alternatives are to quiesce all threads prior to calling pn_driver_wait
(which is undesirable for performance reasons) or to divide pn_driver_wait into
three sections, the first and third of which can be invoked with a lock held
and the second of which (the poll call) can be invoked without a lock.
Alternatively, a driver API better suited to multi-threading could be developed.
