[gdal-dev] Multithreading, deadlock with proj.4

[Roger Phillips]

Hello folks,

I recently tried to use the GDAL 1.9.0 API from multiple threads. However, they may arise a deadlock situation
where one thread hangs in the cpl_multithread.cpp CPLAcquireMutex function and others hang in the pj_acquire_lock() function of the proj.4 4.7.0 API blocking each other.
The methods that set the locks seem to be the

int         Initialize( OGRSpatialReference *poSource, 
                            OGRSpatialReference *poTarget );
    virtual int TransformEx( int nCount, 
                             double *x, double *y, double *z = NULL,
                             int *panSuccess = NULL );

methods of ogrct.cpp.

Not using the methods prevents a deadlock.

Do you know about this?

Thanks for your attention!
