I assume the code in another_thread attempts to obtain the size of the current thread. But the code just reads back the default stack size, which may have changed due to the set_default_thread_stack_size call.
One way to obtain the size of the current thread stack is this call: if(int err = ::pthread_getattr_np(pthread_self(), &attr)) throw std::system_error(err, std::system_category(), "pthread_getattr_np"); This should give consistent results all the time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1844022 Title: pthread_setattr_default_np race condition with pthread_create.
