@section threads_with_libssh How to use libssh with threads
|
|
|
|
libssh may be used in multithreaded applications, but under several conditions :
|
|
- Your system must support libpthread or, in Windows environment,
|
|
CriticalSection based mutex control.
|
|
- Since version 0.8.0, threads initialization is called automatically in the
|
|
library constructor if libssh is dynamically linked. This means it is no
|
|
longer necessary to call ssh_init()/ssh_finalize().
|
|
- If libssh is statically linked, threading must be initialized by calling
|
|
ssh_init() before using any of libssh provided functions. This initialization
|
|
must be done outside of any threading context. Don't forget to call
|
|
ssh_finalize() to avoid memory leak
|
|
- At all times, you may use different sessions inside threads, make parallel
|
|
connections, read/write on different sessions and so on. You *cannot* use a
|
|
single session (or channels for a single session) in several threads at the same
|
|
time. This will most likely lead to internal state corruption. This limitation is
|
|
being worked out and will maybe disappear later.
|
|
|
|
@subsection threads_init Initialization of threads
|
|
|
|
Since version 0.8.0, it is no longer necessary to call ssh_init()/ssh_finalize()
|
|
if libssh is dynamically linked.
|
|
|
|
If libssh is statically linked, call ssh_init() before using any of libssh
|
|
provided functions.
|
|
|
|
@subsection threads_pthread Using libpthread with libssh
|
|
|
|
Since version 0.8.0, libpthread is the default threads library used by libssh.
|
|
|
|
To use libpthread, simply link it to you application.
|
|
|
|
If you are using libssh statically linked, don't forget to call ssh_init()
|
|
before using any of libssh provided functions (and ssh_finalize() in the end).
|
|
|
|
@subsection threads_other Using another threading library
|
|
|
|
Since version 0.8.0, libssh does not support custom threading libraries.
|
|
The change makes sense since the newer versions for libcrypto (OpenSSL) and
|
|
libgcrypt don't support custom threading libraries.
|
|
|
|
The default used threading library is libpthread.
|
|
Alternatively, in Windows environment, CriticalSection based mutex control can
|
|
be used.
|
|
|
|
If your system does not support libpthread nor CriticalSection based mutex
|
|
control, unfortunately, you cannot use libssh in multithreaded scenarios.
|
|
|
|
Good luck !
