Threads

  • The threads(3ssl) man page is pretty good.
  • Unless you're using OpenSSL 0.9.9, the CRYPTO_set_id_callback(3ssl) is pretty much broken on pthreads implementations which don't return an integer value from pthread_self(3). This is true for the FreeBSD native implementations (the LinuxThreads emulation package should work, but is broken in other, more grave, ways). On OpenSSL 0.9.9, CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(3ssl) can be used for implementations which return a pointer or an aggregate.
