Re: [libvirt] Core dump caused by misusing openssl in multithread scenario!
Hi Daniel,
Is this problem fixed in the latest version? What about the question 2 which related to
openssl callbacks in multi-thread?
B.R.

Hi Daniel,
My comments are as following:
1. Currently curl_easy_init method is called from esxVI_CURL_Connect
method in esx_vi.c. And curl_global_init method is called by curl_easy_init. If we move
Curl_global_init to virInitialize, shall we still need to call curl_easy_init from
esxVI_CURL_Connect? Did the latest version fix this problem?
That is actually the problem. The CURL docs explicitly tell you that it is *not* safe to
rely on curl_easy_init in a multithreaded program. You must call curl_global_init
explicitly.
