| Summary | 0004884: pthread_kill(pid, 0) never returns ESRCH on Solaris 11.next | ||||
| Description | src/testcurl/perf_get_concurrent.c depends on pthread_kill(pid, 0) to return ESRCH to detect that given thread finished. On Solaris 11.next, pthread_kill(...) doesn't return ESRCH unless given thread has been detached initially or joined/cancelled. | ||||
| Additional Information | This simple fix seems to deal with the issue: --- a/src/testcurl/perf_get_concurrent.c Fri Oct 21 16:28:03 2016 +0200 +++ b/src/testcurl/perf_get_concurrent.c Fri Feb 03 14:25:16 2017 +0100 @@ -330,6 +330,11 @@ MHD_stop_daemon(d); return 512; } + if (0 != pthread_detach(pid)) + { + MHD_stop_daemon(d); + return 512; + } start_timer (); while (ESRCH != pthread_kill (pid, 0)) { | ||||

| It seems I was a bit too quick with my "fix", which solves the pthread_kill/ESRCH issue, but might cause problems trying to join already detached thread and could eventually cause SIGSEGV trying to fprintf() ret_val, that has never been initialized. | |
| Note that this change in Solaris was triggered by the POSIX / UNIX standards committee ("The Austin Group") clarifying the standard to require this, so this may affect other platforms as they adjust to comply as well. This was done via: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=765 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=792 | |
| Pushed a better fix in 2e826fb4..648b65aa that uses a volatile to avoid the ESRCH-issue entirely, even without detach. | |
| Fix committed to master branch. | |
