Liviu Nicoara commented on STDCXX-1071:
---------------------------------------
The file punct-mt.cpp is a multi-threaded program that tests either the
numpunct or the moneypunct facet accessor interface. If TEST_MONEYPUNCT is
defined, the test tests moneypunct. The test fails with 4.2.x and presumably
with all others. The moneypunct version does not fail in my local runs. I have
used SUNPro 5.12 on Linux, but I noticed failures with gcc 4.7.1 as well. The
test case is pointing at the numpunct facet caching code.
> numpunct facet cache initialization is not thread -safe

> The bug affects the initialization of the cached data in numpunct facet. The
> failing test is 22.locale.numpunct.cpp in certain builds: Linux with SUNPro
> 5.12, optimized, most likely to fail. It has been reported (see linked
> incidents) to fail on SPARC as well. It manifests in variate ways: sometimes
> as heap corruption, sometimes as access violations, etc. Test cases and
> library reduction programs to follow.
