json_spirit package and thread safety

Asked by Marco Matarazzo

Greetings.

Current json_spirit package is compiled without thread safety.

In json_spirit_reader_template.h you can see the line

   //#define BOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE // uncomment for multithreaded use, requires linking to boost.thread

Is there a chance to see this #define uncommented and json_spirit package become tread safe?

The json spirit packaged with ubuntu is compiled with thread safety disabled.
You can download the source version and recompile it enabling this define:

json_spirit/json_spirit_reader_template.h:#define BOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE // uncomment for multithreaded use, requires linking to boost.thread

btw, there is a bug report for this:
