[rabbitmq-discuss] Multithreading and rabbitmq-c

[Valentin BERNARD]

Hi,

With regard to thread-safety, I personally ended up manually
synchronizing every method using a given connection, so that any
channel can be used from any thread. There may be a more subtle
answer.

Concerning multichannel fetching, here is (very schematically) what I
do:

fetch_channel(channel_no) {
   if deliveries[channel_no].size() > 0
      return deliveries[channel_no].dequeue()
   else
      return receive_delivery(channel_no)

receive_delivery(channel_no)
   do {
      receive some_delivery
      if some_delivery.channel_no == channel_no
         return some_delivery
      else
         deliveries[channel_no].enqueue(some_delivery)
   } continue until we get a delivery for this channel or reach some
sort of timeout.

Cheers.

Valentin.
