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

[Manoj Kumar <manoj2kb yahoo co in>]

Hello,

 

I'am greatful for your reply.

 

But we have found that there is no problem with the XML library its working fine (appears to be). The problem appears to be with the interworking of teh ZebOS and the XMl library. It looks as though ZebOS memory_init function is overwriting the global memory location used by XML library.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Regards,

Manoj Kumar

xmlInitParser() should always be called from the main thread
(http://xmlsoft.org/threads.html). Can you reproduce your problem with
a minimal example?
