Thanks for reporting this. Is this a one-off, or is it reproducible? Can you supply a repro so we can investigate the failure "in the lab"? Without that, I'm afraid it's unlikely we will be able to make progress.
We do need to check that you are using the APIs correctly, for example not using classes that are not thread-safe in multiple threads. Showing us the way you invoke the transformations would be helpful.
As you are probably aware, diagnosing problems like this is made more difficult by the fact that the technology platform, Excelsior Jet, no longer has a support team in place.

Thanks for answering.
This issue is reproducible both in Windows and Linux. It happens only when Saxon/C is called from multiple threads.
We cannot send a repo as the system is very large and consist of many components. I attached the library wrapper we use to access Saxson/C.
How are we going to deal with future technical issues if Excelsior Jet is deprecated and has no support?
Regards
Ofer

Are you trying to use the same Xslt30Processor instance from different threads?
Updated by O'Neil Delpratt over 2 years ago
Hi Ofer, Thanks again for reporting this issue. In the current release the Xslt30Processor object does not support multi-threading as it not state-less. If an Xslt30Processor object fails in one of the threads then the whole program will fail. I am working on multi-threading support for the next release.
I suggest as a work around you could use the copy constructor of Xslt30Processor for each thread. Alternatively I see in your code in the Init function you create the Xslt30Processor with @gProcessor->newXslt30Processor();@. This should work where you start each thread.
If you can run your program with gdb debugger it will stop Excelsior Jet intercepting the exception therefore get a better idea of what is causing the crash.

(Having said that, if you are indeed running the same Xslt30Processor in more than one thread, then we don't really need to know exactly where it fails - it's going to fail somewhere because it's not designed to be multi-threaded.)

Hi,
As can be seen in the code I attached, every time we interface with saxon we pass a context pointer that holds the pointer to Xslt30Processor.
This context is unique per thread. The Xslt30Processor is allocated by a global (non-thread specific) SaxonProcessor object.
Does the call to SaxonProcessor ->newXslt30Processor(); is not thread safe? Should it be protected?

Is it possible you can create small code repo that I can run your program with threads on my linux box please?
It might be useful for you to run your program with the debugger gdb which may show up some more information as to the cause of the crash

Of course we have utility programs we can operate to check these scenarios. But they cannot be ripped off from the same reason I told you.
It seems the exception is coming from one of the many threads created by Saxon:
The one marked in red is the source of the exception with the following stack:
