[Bug c++/13684] New: local static object variable constructed once but ctors and dtors called multiple times on same memory when called in multiple threads

["evijaykumar at yahoo dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I have a simple sample code which illustrates the issue. Basically, if multiple 
threads invoke a function which has local static object, the ctor and dtor are 
called multiple times on the same object in non reentrant manner until object 
is fully constructed. Here is a sample program which illustrates the issue




#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>

volatile int i;
class A {
    public:
    int i;
    A(int i)
    {
        this->i = i;
        sleep(1);
        printf("I am in A ctor %d this:%p\n", i, this);
    }
    ~A() {
        printf("A dtor %d this:%p\n", i, this);
    }
};
extern "C" void *foo(void *)
{
    printf("before static ctor in foo\n");
    static A a(i++);
    printf("in foo %p a(i) %d\n", &a, a.i);
    return NULL;
}
main()
{
    printf("I am in main\n");
    pthread_t tid;
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    pthread_create(&tid,NULL, foo, NULL);
    sleep(3);
    foo(NULL);
}


The output of this program is 

I am in main
