Reentrant mariadbclient on the horizon?

I've written an test application that can be multi-threaded and I've done a bit of testing only to find that mariadbclient is not reentrant! (Oh the humanity!)

I have got it to run using the reentrant library (libmysqlclient_r) for MySQL but there doesn't seem to be a similar library for mariadbclient. Is this even on the horizon?

Did you mean there is no libmariadbclient_r library?

Long time ago there was libmysqlclient library and libmysqlclient_r, which was the same as libmysqlclient, but compiled with thread support.

And long time ago it was changed, libmysqlclient is now always compiled with thread support, and libmysqlclient_r is simply a compatibility symlink to libmysqlclient. There is no separate libmysqlclient_r anymore.

The same applies to libmariadbclient, it is always compiled with thread support, there is no need to have libmariadbclient_r.
