(Note that OpenSSL uses a number of global data structures that will be implicitly shared when- ever multiple threads use OpenSSL.) Multi-threaded applications will crash at random if it is not set. _l_o_c_k_i_n_g___f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_(_) must be able to handle up to _C_R_Y_P_T_O___n_u_m___l_o_c_k_s_(_) dif- ferent mutex locks. It sets the nn-th lock if mmooddee & CCRRYYPPTTOO__LLOOCCKK, and releases it otherwise. ffiillee and lliinnee are the file number of the function setting the lock. They can be useful for debugging. threadid_func(CRYPTO_THREADID *id) is needed to record the currently- executing thread's identifier into iidd. The implementation of this call- back should not fill in iidd directly, but should use _C_R_Y_P_T_O___T_H_R_E_A_- _D_I_D___s_e_t___n_u_m_e_r_i_c_(_) if thread IDs are numeric, or _C_R_Y_P_T_O___T_H_R_E_A_- _D_I_D___s_e_t___p_o_i_n_t_e_r_(_) if they are pointer-based. If the application does not register such a callback using _C_R_Y_P_T_O___T_H_R_E_A_D_I_D___s_e_t___c_a_l_l_b_a_c_k_(_), then a default implementation is used - on Windows and BeOS this uses the system's default thread identifying APIs, and on all other platforms it uses the address of eerrrrnnoo. The latter is satisfactory for thread-safety if and only if the platform has a thread-local error number facility. Once _t_h_r_e_a_d_i_d___f_u_n_c_(_) is registered, or if the built-in default imple- mentation is to be used; * _C_R_Y_P_T_O___T_H_R_E_A_D_I_D___c_u_r_r_e_n_t_(_) records the currently-executing thread ID into the given iidd object. * _C_R_Y_P_T_O___T_H_R_E_A_D_I_D___c_m_p_(_) compares two thread IDs (returning zero for equality, ie. the same semantics as _m_e_m_c_m_p_(_)). * _C_R_Y_P_T_O___T_H_R_E_A_D_I_D___c_p_y_(_) duplicates a thread ID value, * _C_R_Y_P_T_O___T_H_R_E_A_D_I_D___h_a_s_h_(_) returns a numeric value usable as a hash-table key. This is usually the exact numeric or pointer-based thread ID used internally, however this also handles the unusual case where pointers are larger than 'long' variables and the platform's thread IDs are pointer-based - in this case, mixing is done to attempt to produce a unique numeric value even though it is not as wide as the platform's true thread IDs. Additionally, OpenSSL supports dynamic locks, and sometimes, some parts of OpenSSL need it for better performance. To enable this, the follow- ing is required: * Three additional callback function, dyn_create_function, dyn_lock_function and dyn_destroy_function. * A structure defined with the data that each lock needs to handle. struct CRYPTO_dynlock_value has to be defined to contain whatever structure is needed to handle locks. dyn_create_function(const char *file, int line) is needed to create a lock. Multi-threaded applications might crash at random if it is not set. dyn_lock_function(int mode, CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line) is needed to perform locking off dynamic lock numbered n. Multi- threaded applications might crash at random if it is not set. dyn_destroy_function(CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line) is needed to destroy the lock l. Multi-threaded applications might crash at random if it is not set. _C_R_Y_P_T_O___g_e_t___n_e_w___d_y_n_l_o_c_k_i_d_(_) is used to create locks. It will call dyn_create_function for the actual creation. _C_R_Y_P_T_O___d_e_s_t_r_o_y___d_y_n_l_o_c_k_i_d_(_) is used to destroy locks. It will call dyn_destroy_function for the actual destruction. _C_R_Y_P_T_O___l_o_c_k_(_) is used to lock and unlock the locks. mode is a bitfield describing what should be done with the lock. n is the number of the lock as returned from _C_R_Y_P_T_O___g_e_t___n_e_w___d_y_n_l_o_c_k_i_d_(_). mode can be combined from the following values. These values are pairwise exclusive, with undefined behaviour if misused (for example, CRYPTO_READ and CRYPTO_WRITE should not be used together): CRYPTO_LOCK 0x01 CRYPTO_UNLOCK 0x02 CRYPTO_READ 0x04 CRYPTO_WRITE 0x08 RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS _C_R_Y_P_T_O___n_u_m___l_o_c_k_s_(_) returns the required number of locks. _C_R_Y_P_T_O___g_e_t___n_e_w___d_y_n_l_o_c_k_i_d_(_) returns the index to the newly created lock. The other functions return no values. NNOOTTEESS You can find out if OpenSSL was configured with thread support: #define OPENSSL_THREAD_DEFINES #include #if defined(OPENSSL_THREADS) // thread support enabled #else // no thread support #endif Also, dynamic locks are currently not used internally by OpenSSL, but may do so in the future. EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS ccrryyppttoo//tthhrreeaaddss//mmtttteesstt..cc shows examples of the callback functions on Solaris, Irix and Win32. HHIISSTTOORRYY _C_R_Y_P_T_O___s_e_t___l_o_c_k_i_n_g___c_a_l_l_b_a_c_k_(_) is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. _C_R_Y_P_T_O___n_u_m___l_o_c_k_s_(_) was added in OpenSSL 0.9.4. All func- tions dealing with dynamic locks were added in OpenSSL 0.9.5b-dev. CCRRYYPPTTOO__TTHHRREEAADDIIDD and associated functions were introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.0 to replace (actually, deprecate) the previous _C_R_Y_P_T_O___s_e_t___i_d___c_a_l_l_- _b_a_c_k_(_), _C_R_Y_P_T_O___g_e_t___i_d___c_a_l_l_b_a_c_k_(_), and _C_R_Y_P_T_O___t_h_r_e_a_d___i_d_(_) functions which assumed thread IDs to always be represented by 'unsigned long'.
