How safe is it going to be to re-use pcap_compile() multiple times from within the same program space, on different threads for different network interfaces ?
If I have a program that spawns 4 threads at the same time, and each one does a pcap_compile() for its own NIC, can I expect the program to die a sudden and nasty death due to it being completely thread unsafe? I notice there are no mentions of thread safety or thread issues anywhere in the man pages...is this something that should be addressed? if it were, would the patches be well accepted if they didn't change the external API ?
