<h2><a name="Thread">Thread safety</a></h2>
<p>Starting with 2.4.7, libxml makes provisions to ensure that concurent
threads can safely work in parallel parsing different documents. There is
however a couple of things to do to ensure it:</p>
<ul>
<li>configure the library accordingly using the --with-threads options</li>
<li>call xmlInitParser() in the "main" thread before using any of the
libxml API (except possibly selecting a different memory allocator)</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that the thread safety cannot be ensured for multiple threads sharing
the same document, the locking must be done at the application level, libxml
exports a basic mutex and reentrant mutexes API in &lt;libxml/threads.h&gt;.
The parts of the library checked for thread safety are:</p>
<ul>
<li>concurrent loading</li>
<li>file access resolution</li>
<li>catalog access</li>
<li>catalog building</li>
<li>entities lookup/accesses</li>
<li>validation</li>
<li>global variables per-thread override</li>
<li>memory handling</li>
</ul>
<p>XPath is supposed to be thread safe now, but this wasn't tested
seriously.</p>
