I'm using the FFTW library implemented as DLL under Win XP.
Now I'm writing (in C++) a multi-threaded application which call the FFTW
functions from two function in my code at the same time and, obviously, the
application crashes.

Is there any way to use the FFTW library in a multi-threaded application?

Thanks
Cristiano

I'm not sure if your problem is a result of creating race conditions
between your threads, or something inherent about the FFTW library.
It sounds like a threading issue though.

Googleing for "fftw thread safety" yields:

You can use FFTW in multithreaded apps, but only the method "fftw_execute"
is thread safe. So all FFTW functions calls except fftw_execute have to
be serialized (not executed in parallel).

You're right! Now my app works.

Thank you very much
