Error description

  • Error Description:
    Two threads could enter a deadlock  and prevent process
    exit when:
    
    Thread A:
      Calls exit()-> which in turn calls DTOR of a
      static object-> which in turn notifies threadB  that
      unloads yet another library.
      Then threadA waits for a semaphore notification from
      threadB.
    
    Two threads will be seen deadlocked with the
    following stack trace( these are actual stack traces
    from a test case that recreates the problem)
    
    First thread(B)

Local fix

Problem summary

  • Customer may see deadlock if registration order of
     run_final_dtors()" as an atexit() function has changed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Solution is to avoid deadlock even if the registration order of
    run_final_dtors()" as an atexit() function is changed by
    running real run_final_dtors only at the end.
    

Temporary fix
