[jira] [Commented] (PROTON-787) thread safety issue -- openssl initialization

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-787?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14255039#comment-14255039 ] 

Jim Spring commented on PROTON-787:
-----------------------------------

Note - I have seen other simultaneous calls to pn_messenger_send/put result in similar behavior.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: proton-c

> Doing multiple calls to pn_messenger_subscribe can potentially end up in simultaneous calls to pn_ssl_globals_init which calls into openssl which is not thread safe.
> One fix is to explicitly serialize calls (my current approach).
> One other fix - allow for an initial "proton_init" type call that includes openssl initialization.  Which is called before usage of the library.
