[openssl-dev] About multi-thread unsafe for APIs defined in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c

[Salz, Rich]

  *   OpenSSL APIs, which makes the following OpenSSL documentation statement invalid (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/crypto/threads.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.openssl.org_docs_man1.0.2_crypto_threads.html&d=DwMFAw&c=96ZbZZcaMF4w0F4jpN6LZg&r=4LM0GbR0h9Fvx86FtsKI-w&m=ZS_kRxGa4vj0O6wqfY-6q7kwVT0WiIMkFqw1XWHym4o&s=GK3QtuXP-8j_1nbRihxeJGLAIYXt1BNIyh3WHP6EJlY&e=>)



  *   "OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided that at least two callback functions are set, locking_function and threadid_func."



  *   Is there any planning to fix this issue?





Well, the most likely fix is to make the “safely” wording be more vague, which I doubt you’ll like.  But I doubt anyone on the team has much interest in fixing 1.0.2 locking issues.
