<youpi> neal: bad news: you remember the PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER that points to a global __pthread_recursive_mutexattr?
<youpi> that doesn't work
<youpi> because some libraries like libstdc++ do not link against libpthread, while still using pthread_mutex_lock/unlock (counting on them being provided by either libc or libpthread-stubs)
<CIA-1> sthibaul-guest * r626 pkg-hurd/hurd/trunk/debian/ (changelog patches/series):
<CIA-1> * debian/patches/libpthread_rwlock_initializer.patch: Disable patch for now:
<CIA-1> our initializer does not work when the application does not link against
<CIA-1> libpthread.
<CIA-1> sthibaul-guest * r629 pkg-hurd/hurd/trunk/debian/ (changelog patches/series): do not disable adding PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER, that's not the one that poses problems
<CIA-1> sthibaul-guest * r630 pkg-hurd/hurd/trunk/debian/ (3 files in 2 dirs):
<CIA-1> * debian/patches/libpthread_no_recursive_mutex_initializer.patch: New patch
<CIA-1> to drop undefined references to __pthread_recursive_mutexattr.
<youpi> I'm thinking about how to fix the PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER
<youpi> instead of a pointer to a static attribute variable, which posed problem
<youpi> could we perhaps consider that page 0 is never mapped
<youpi> and thus not only pointer 0 but also 1 2, etc. are invalid
<neal> I think that is a good solution
<youpi> and use them as special values
<neal> alternatively, we could assume that -PAGESIZE is never valid
<youpi> that makes us test it in all pthread_mutex_* functions, but it's not so bad
<neal> I'm not sure which is better
<youpi> why isn't it?
<neal> because the kernel is mapped there normally
<youpi> the kernel could be elsewhere
<neal> true
<youpi> in a 64bit adressing space for instance
<neal> I think your solution is a good one
<youpi> ok
<CIA-1> sthibault * r633 pkg-hurd/hurd/trunk/debian/ (3 files in 2 dirs):
<CIA-1> * debian/patches/libpthread_recursive_mutex_initializer.patch: New patch
<CIA-1> to fix the recursive mutex initializers usage in libraries not linking
<CIA-1> against libpthread.
