Hi, I posted this earlier on opensuse-programming but that list seems to be pretty quiet. So I will give it a try here.
Since going to opensuse 10.2 we have found a problem with pthread cleanup handlers not being called on pthread_cancel and under certain conditions on pthread_exit from within C++ programs. The issue is that cleanup handlers put onto a threads cleanup stack via pthread_cleanup_push() should be called when a thread is canceled or exits. In some cases that is not happening. This only appears to be an issue with C++ programs that have exceptions enabled (default). It doesn't happen with C programs or if exceptions are disabled by using -fno-exceptions. This is not a viable solution. The issue is well documented as a glibc bug here: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4123, so I won't repeat all of the details here. Unfortunately, this is a critical bug and it has been sitting open since March 2 without any visible activity other than my recent activity. Does anyone have suggestions about how to possibly work around this issue or to help move things along?
