GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 704905
xmlInitParser and xmlInitThreads are missing necessary synchronization
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:25:30 UTC
The comment in parser.c indicates that this is a known issue; however, it is impossible to ask the caller to work around the problem, since the caller may itself be a library that is not called until multiple threads have already been created.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
