[mapserver-dev] Mapserver thread safety

[Andreas Albarello]

Umberto,

thank you. I think this should be ok, and I agree with Thomas' comment to the original pull request that OCI_THREADED should require USE_THREADS to be defined.

Unfortunately, I lost my MapServer build environment in a HDD crash two weeks ago and haven't yet had time to put everything together again, so I can't help with testing this right now. I will say though that I have been compiling MapServer with OCI_THREAEDED in maporaclespatial.c for some time now and haven't noticed any adverse effects. As I said, I did find though that some weird crashes in conjunction with an 11g client (10g clients did seem to be a lot more stable in this regard) went away which I think is a good thing and what prompted my response in the first place.

Regards, 

Andreas
