Re: [xml] Debugging memory in libxml2

Daniel and Chris -

Thanks for the guidance, I've done the
investigation, and here is what I've found so far...

1. The first calls to the libxml2 library
occur in a thread (not in main).
2.  When a second thread makes
a call to xmlBufferCreate() it calls xmlGetGlobalState(), which traps on
EnterCriticalSection(&cleanup_helpers_cs); (line 569 in 2.6.26).
3. Compiler is MSVC  13.10.3077
(32 bit)
4. Libxml2 version is 2.6.26
5. Libxml2 was built with configure.js
debug=yes

I've checked and made sure that every
component is built with /MD so there aren't any CRT problems.  Is
there something I have to do in main before I can access libxml2 in multiple
threads?  Are there problems with xmlBuffer's being accessed from
multiple threads?  Any other hints?

Thanks and Merry Christmas,

Jim
