Fixed a race condition between the Watcher thread and the main thread during program exit. #4494
Conversation
A race condition exist between the Watcher thread and main(). A case was found where the Watcher thread does not get execution time before the main function returns and calls atexit(). At that point the Watcher thread started runing tls_init() code while the main thread was shutting down. This resulted in rare crashes and deadlocks.

It shows me as part of this Corporate Contract I double-checked all the emails used and I believe I should be good to go. No individual CLA needed to be signed |

The CLA check is still failing. There is nothing I can do about that. Please figure out why. If you would like to close this pull request I am happy to fix this myself (I would do it in a slightly different way anyway). |
