<p>Ok, but people seem to miss this. The report is from "the real world"... people may read docs in other ways than we do. IMO, there should <em>at least</em> be some words about the thread-safety of gnutls_global_init, together with a link to the Thread-safety section you mention.</p>

<p dir="auto">I understand, I have overreacted in my first response, sorry for that. We want these reports so we can improve documentation.</p>

<p>I've written code using GnuTLS since 2005 and our code (curl) still works to build with older GnuTLS versions. We have calls to gnutls_global_init() in the code base.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hmm, older versions than 3.3.0 may have problems. I've created <a href="https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/merge_requests/1162" data-original="https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/merge_requests/1162" data-link="false" data-link-reference="true" data-project="179611" data-merge-request="46666528" data-project-path="gnutls/gnutls" data-iid="1162" data-mr-title="doc: clarify thread safeness in gnutls_global_init() [ci skip]" data-reference-type="merge_request" data-container="body" data-placement="bottom" title="" class="gfm gfm-merge_request">!1162</a> to document as precisely as I could the behavior.</p>
