This is my fault. I suspect it was more an error of omission on my part than assuming the default value of PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER. :) Hmm, so I reviewed the change that removed INITEXTRA() and all the places it was used to construct a 'fake' FILE object it was passed to an internal stdio routine that did not use locking. One thing I do see that is an old bug is that the three static FILE structures used for stdin, stdout, and stderr have never had their internal locks properly initialized. Also, it seems __sfp() never initializes fp->_lock at all. Oh, it gets set to NULL via 'empty' in moreglue(). That is also an old bug. I think this will fix those problems: Index: stdio/findfp.c =================================================================== --- stdio/findfp.c (revision 199969) +++ stdio/findfp.c (working copy) @@ -61,6 +61,7 @@ ._read = __sread, \ ._seek = __sseek, \ ._write = __swrite, \ + ._fl_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER, \ } /* the usual - (stdin + stdout + stderr) */ static FILE usual[FOPEN_MAX - 3]; @@ -96,7 +97,7 @@ int n; { struct glue *g; - static FILE empty; + static FILE empty = { ._fl_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER }; FILE *p; g = (struct glue *)malloc(sizeof(*g) + ALIGNBYTES + n * sizeof(FILE)); @@ -154,7 +155,7 @@ fp->_ub._size = 0; fp->_lb._base = NULL; /* no line buffer */ fp->_lb._size = 0; -/* fp->_lock = NULL; */ /* once set always set (reused) */ +/* fp->_fl_mutex = NULL; */ /* once set always set (reused) */ fp->_orientation = 0; memset(&fp->_mbstate, 0, sizeof(mbstate_t)); return (fp); -- John Baldwin
