Hi Michael, Haitao,
iconv(3) states:
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The iconv() function is thread-safe.
But iconv_open(3) says:
A conversion descriptor contains a conversion state. After creation
using iconv_open(), the state is in the initial state. Using iconv(3)
modifies the descriptor's conversion state. (This implies that a con-
version descriptor can not be used in multiple threads simultaneously.)
To bring the state back to the initial state, use iconv(3) with NULL as
inbuf argument.
This looks a bit unclear, do you think you could clarify iconv(3) and/or
iconv_open(3) a bit in thread-safety regard?
Thanks,
