Concurrency fprintf

[logslie]

Hi,

I'm developing a new module that writes logs in a log file using the function fprintf.
My question is, do I have to implement any lock to write safely in the file? As far as I know fprintf is thread-safe, but even though it, I don't know if it is necessary or not.

Thanks,

Laura

You need to synchronise when writing to same file from many processes. Among options:

• 1. lock a mutex; open file; append message; close file; unlock mutex
• 2. each process writes to pipe and a dedicated process reads from the pipe and writes to the file

I am closing this issue -- we use the tracker on github for bugs or new feature requests. If you want to discuss more on this topic, use the mailing lists (e.g., sr-users at lists dot sip-router dot org).
