From 86be40b4eb762d5c12e8e3f7388ca9f254e77b36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pau Espin Pedrol Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2018 15:22:50 +0200 Subject: Logger: Disable pthread cancel point inside Logger destructor pthread_cancel is implemented in c++ using exception handlers. In destructor of Log object, the log function is called which will eventually call fputs() to write to a file. Since that function is considered a cancelation point, if pthread_cancel has been called the exception handler will start unstacking frames and calling destructors in the process. At some point this will cause a runtime exception in c++ which will call std::terminate() to abort the process. The solution is thus to avoid starting the cancellation process inside the destructor. This behavior was spotted while calling the destructor of Transceiver object in forthcoming patches. See a more detailed example here: https://skaark.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/pthread_cancel-considered-harmful/ Change-Id: I71ca90f3fbc73df58b878a03361f7b7831d838b4 --- CommonLibs/Logger.cpp | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'CommonLibs') diff --git a/CommonLibs/Logger.cpp b/CommonLibs/Logger.cpp index 393d882..171c635 100644 --- a/CommonLibs/Logger.cpp +++ b/CommonLibs/Logger.cpp @@ -44,6 +44,8 @@ std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, std::ostringstream& ss) Log::~Log() { + int old_state; + pthread_setcancelstate(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE, &old_state); int mlen = mStream.str().size(); int neednl = (mlen==0 || mStream.str()[mlen-1] != '\n'); const char *fmt = neednl ?
