I'm having an issue with making function calls from multiple threads. There are two threads that each call a function called save_program, to which a DDCChannelHandleGroup and and a certain "pulse program" structure are passed. The problem I'm having is that after I've called save_program from one of the threads, it locks up when I try to call it from the other thread. There are three contexts for this - two in the main thread and one in the data acquisition thread.
If I call save_program from either of the contexts in the main thread, the program locks up when I try to call it in the data acquisition thread, and vice versa. Calling from the two contexts within the same thread doesn't cause any issue. I've set a breakpoint at the function call and at the first piece of executable code in save_program (variable declaration initialized to NULL), and the program freezes between those two breakpoints. I've checked and execution always does fully complete in each of the threads AND the CmtExitThreadPoolThread() call also executes just fine. I've also encased all instances of save_program in CmtGetLock/CmtReleaseLock calls to no avail. Bizarrely, these calls used to cause no problems with the exact same multithreading setup. I'm not sure what has changed.
