Subject: RE: [PATCH] __libc_exit_fini forgets to do
pthread_mutex_unlock
Hello, Markus,
Please see attached test code main.c. Assume we compile it with MUSL and generate the executable program named myApp.
This myApp needs an input parameter which is an another executable program. If this parameter pointed to a nonexistent
program, this myApp will get stuck.
For example: (aaa is a nonexistent program)
./myApp aaa
The attached .png file is the snapshot that I ran myApp on ubutntu 22.04.3.
Thanks,
Rebecca

I think that is a deliberate omision. __libc_exit_fini() is called on process exit. After it runs, it must not run again, and no new initializer must run at all. The process will exit very soon anyway. The only way to deadlock here is if a destructor calls exit(), which they aren't allowed to do.
Ciao,
Markus
