From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Tolga Dalman Subject: mcheck(3): add a notice that the current implementation is not thread-safe Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:58:48 +0200 Message-ID: <5408D288.1050407@googlemail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-man-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: "Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" Cc: linux-man-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-Id: linux-man@vger.kernel.org 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!
