Subject: [Bug libstdc++/107180] New: Itanium ABI says to block in the emergency EH buffer if memory cannot be acquired
Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2022 13:49:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-107180-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

            Bug ID: 107180
           Summary: Itanium ABI says to block in the emergency EH buffer
                    if memory cannot be acquired
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

https://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi-eh.html#imp-emergency says:

"Additional threads are blocked until one of the 16 de-allocates its emergency
buffer storage."

Ignoring the fact that we don't limit the number of threads that can use the
buffer concurrently, our __cxa_allocate_exception first tries malloc, then
tries the emergency pool, then terminates. We should add a condition_variable
to the pool and block when it's full.

This needs to be optional though. For some users blocking indefinitely is worse
than terminating. Maybe use a tunable.
