I am having problems with OpenCV 3.3.1 on ARM. I have arrived at the following minimal example:

(snip includes)

void cvtTest() {
  cv::Mat imgTmp = cv::Mat(1200,1920, CV_16UC1, cv::Scalar(1));
  cv::Mat imgTmp2 = cv::Mat(1200,1920, CV_8UC3, cv::Scalar(0));
  cvtColor(imgTmp, imgTmp2, cv::COLOR_BayerBG2BGR);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  cout << "Start function call test" << endl;
  cvtTest();
  cout << "First done" << endl;
  cvtTest();
  cout << "Second done" << endl;

  cout << "Start boost::thread test" << endl;
  boost::thread* test1 = new boost::thread(cvtTest);
  test1->join();
  cout << "First done" << endl;
  boost::thread* test2 = new boost::thread(cvtTest);
  test2->join();
  cout << "Second done" << endl;
  [...]

this prints:

Start function call test
First done
Second done
Start boost::thread test
First done

did you see a note anywhere, that cvtColor would be thread-safe ?

(it is not. as long as your opencv libs were built with tbb support)

I see, I did read the function documentation but saw no mention of thread unsafety. This is "inherited" code, and works fine for several thousand invocations in the first thread. Also the threads are never concurrent nor are the matrices in question accessed from outside the thread.

So nothing in OpenCV with TBB is thread-safe unless explicitly mentioned? Where can I find what is thread-safe without TBB? I can try recompiling tomorrow when I get back to work.
