previously, some accesses to the detached state (from pthread_join and pthread_getattr_np) were unsynchronized; they were harmless in programs with well-defined behavior, but ugly. other accesses (in pthread_exit and pthread_detach) were synchronized by a poorly named "exitlock", with an ad-hoc trylock operation on it open-coded in pthread_detach, whose only purpose was establishing protocol for which thread is responsible for deallocation of detached-thread resources. instead, use an atomic detach_state and unify it with the futex used to wait for thread exit. this eliminates 2 members from the pthread structure, gets rid of the hackish lock usage, and makes rigorous the trap added in commit 80bf5952551c002cf12d96deb145629765272db0 for catching attempts to join detached threads. it should also make attempt to detach an already-detached thread reliably trap.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
