Description Vasily Chekalkin 2003-12-25 09:06:51 UTC 
libexslt date functions are not thread safe because exsltDateCurrent use
localtime, not localtime_r, in thread enabled builds.

Proposed patch.
Comment 2 William M. Brack 2004-02-26 17:09:40 UTC 
There was a bit more work required (checking during library 
configuration that localtime_r is present on the system), plus the 
macro LIBXML_THREAD_ENABLED is not present within date.c, but I hope 
that the changes I have made will accomplish what you wanted.  The 
changed routine (libexslt/date.c) is in CVS.
Comment 3 Daniel Veillard 2004-03-25 11:38:17 UTC 
This should be closed by release of libxslt-1.1.5,
                                                                                
  thanks,

Comment 4 Christopher R. Palmer 2004-09-18 13:52:59 UTC 
This function still uses gmtime which is not thread-safe.  gmtime_r is a
thread-safe version.
Comment 5 William M. Brack 2004-10-15 05:37:52 UTC 
OK, I extended the previous modification to also use gmtime_r.  Fix is in CVS (libexslt/date.c, 
configure.in, config.h.in).  Thanks for the report.
Comment 6 Daniel Veillard 2005-09-05 09:44:09 UTC 
This should be closed by release of libxslt-1.1.15

  thanks,
