[vorbis-dev] Re: bug in vorbisfile with threads

[Martin Vogt]

Hello,

because no one commented on the last posting,
I tried to make a patch for the global variable problem.

It looks like, that the bug with the errno variable
cannot be solved in a: 

i)  binary compatible
ii) source compatible

way.(when we leave the errno check in)

I can prepare such a patch, but this breaks everything.
Not fixing this bug would mean the vorbisfile is not
re-entrant.

Another solution:
-----------------

Another way to fix the race is to remove the errno check
completely. (I really prefer this solution.)

regards,

Martin
