Bug #: 56941
Summary: Thread conflict is reported by helgrind in
_Unwind_IteratePhdrCallback
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: yuri@tsoft.com
I get the following error from helgrind on heavily multi-threaded process
throwing a lot of exceptions. gcc in use is 4.7.2 on amd64 architecture.
Line unwind-dw2-fde-dip.c:212: prev_cache_entry->link = cache_entry->link;
It looks like the error is due to an unprotected cache access.
This should either be fixed, or there should be a good explanation why this
should be considered a non-issue. Data race conditions reported by helgrind
usually correspond to real issues.
