Re: [xml] xmlParseFile crashes with segmentation fault in Multithreaded Application

[Manoj Kumar <manoj2kb yahoo co in>]

Hi,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

But no we don't use any such call. The first XML call that we make is xmlParseFile from one of the sub threads it fails. Just to test if something is wrong with our method we moved the call to main thread it works prefectly fine. But our main thread is not supposed do any  xml related calls. Hence we start using xml only in the subthread.  But we get segmentation fault there. we also tried using xmlInitParser() in hte main thread even that does not help.

 

Regards,

Manoj
