Concretely, what code would be in charge of this initialization ? What changes does "eager initialization" imply from the current implementation ? > Second would be write patch to libc adding function > pthread_create_add_hook_np to register function that would be ran after > each thread creation. Do you suggest that this callback should be registered once per thread, or somehow attached to pthread_attr_t ? As maintainer of lttng-ust, where we need some control over our own threads, but where we want minimal impact on the overall application, I would really prefer if we can attach the callback to pthread_attr_t.
