Subject: mcheck(3): add a notice that the current implementation is not thread-safe
Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:58:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5408D288.1050407@googlemail.com> (raw)
Hello Michael,
mcheck is known to be unusable for quite some time with multi-threaded
applications:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9939
Until yesterday (including many hours of bug-hunting) this fact was not
known to me, thus, I would like to suggest to add a note in the mcheck(3) manual
page (and probably in the GLIBC documentation as well). I think one sentence in
the NOTES section should suffice.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Tolga Dalman
