[Bug libc/565] New: Linking with -lc_p and -lpthreads causes seg fault in all applications

[bji-glibc@ischo.com]

The glibc profiling library and the pthreads library cannot be linked into the
same application.  Consider this simple program:

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

Compiled like so:

gcc -g -pg -o proftest proftest.cpp -lc_p -lpthread

This program will immediately segmentation fault when run.  I realize that the
pthreads library is not strictly needed for this program but it is needed for
the programs I am working on and this makes a simple test case.

Here is the stack trace which results from the crash:

bji$ ./proftest 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
bji$ gdb ./proftest

Compiling without -lc_p or without -lpthread will work just fine.  But they
cannot be combined.

[Bug libc/565] Linking with -lc_p and -lpthreads causes seg fault in all applications

[jakub@redhat.com]

------- Additional Comments From jakub at redhat dot com  2004-11-22 11:01 -------
-lc_p is only .a library, not DSO as well.
Therefore if you use it, you must be statically linking and -lpthread in that
case must come before -lc_p.
