Hello All, I am currently stuck with the problem that the c socket library doesnt seem to be thread safe. I am trying to create multiple threads, where each thread connects to a different server using socket/connect system call. Problem is the program hangs and none of the threads seem to do anything. I tried correcting that i cud suspect was responsible for this, but it simply doesnt work after which i concluded that probably socket implementation is not thread safe. This is also supported by the fact that when my program has only two threads, it works sometimes while hangs at other times. Having more threads hangs it everytime. Is there something i might be doing wrong ? Or if i am correct then is there a thread safe sockets library lying somewhere ? Someone told me libc_r is a complete thread safe library for C. I do not know much about libc_r and there doesnt seem to be much help available online too. Do you guys know some good doc for the same ?
