The answer to the question is that to test any a mysql client library
for thread safeness you just need to link against the appropriate library
and make the call:
mysql_thread_safe()
which return true if it is thread safe and false otherwise. So the following
code will make such a test in a fairly user friendly way:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main() {
printf("mysql_thread_safe %s\n", mysql_thread_safe() ? "yes" : "no");
exit(0);
}
As for whether or not AS 2.1 ships with a thread safe version of the mysqlclient
libraries, the answer is "NO".
I guess I will need to file a bug in bugzilla.
Cheers...james
