I think this has a problem, which is handled correctly in
src/c++11/locale_init.cc by checking _S_classic inside the
_S_initialize_once function.

If the first call to __gthread_once does fail then _S_once will not be
changed. We will fall through to calling _S_initialize_once directly
(which is not thread-safe) and set _S_c_locale.

The next time we call _S_initialize, __gthread_once will try to run
again, and because _S_once was not changed, it might call
_S_initialize_once() again, which writes to _S_c_locale again
(possibly causing a data race).

I don't think the slightly different code in src/c++11/locale_init.cc
is different in order to handle __gthread_once failing, I think it's
different because the effects of locale::facet::_S_initialize_once()
and locale::_S_initialize_once() are different. One is safe to call
more than once, and the other isn't.

I don't think we need to care about __gthread_once failing at all, do
we? There are no error conditions for pthread_once, it always returns
0 (previous POSIX revisions said it could return EINVAL for an
uninitialized pthread_once_t but that can't happen here as it's
correctly initialized in src/c++11/locale.cc). Is the concern that it
can fail for non-posix thread models? (I didn't check if any of them
can actually fail)

We check _S_c_locale here (it's just a pointer) instead of in
_S_initialize_once (), so I think the code is equivalent, no?

Ah, yeah, so in the C++11 path the check for !_S_classic in
locale::_S_initialize is redundant.  But good spot.

The concern is that there are actual products out that break with the
new I/O initialization in libstdc++ for GCC13+ because they have bugs.
It's easy enough to work around those by the proposed patch (plus
correction for the above issue).  I suppose the comment in
locale::_S_initialize_once holds as well for the C++98 path.

The failure mode of the product is that it overrides pthread_once
but does nothing (not even indicate failure) when its pthread_*
override mechanism isn't initialized yet.  With libstdc++ from GCC13
we now use pthread_once "too early" and fail to initialize the locale
object.

Adjusted patch below.

OK after another round of testing?

Thanks,
Richard.

The following makes the C++98 locale init path follow the way the
C++11 performs initialization.  This way we deal with pthread_once
failing, falling back to non-threadsafe initialization which, given we
initialize from the library, should be serialized by the dynamic
loader already.

	PR libstdc++/112351
libstdc++-v3/
	* src/c++98/locale.cc (locale::facet::_S_initialize_once):
	Check whether _S_c_locale is already initialized.
	(locale::facet::_S_get_c_locale): Always perform non-threadsafe
	init when threadsafe init failed.

It's a __locale_struct* for glibc and int* for BSD. Hopefully it's
always something pointer-ish so that works.

Redundant, but it avoids a call to _S_initialize_once, so probably
worth it for performance.

This still has the problem of calling the function twice, once because
__gthread_once fails and one because it succeeds.

Wouldn't it be better to just test __gthread_once return value
#ifdef __THREADS
  if ((!__gthread_active_p()
       || __gthread_once(&_S_once, _S_initialize_once)))
#endif
    if (!_S_c_locale)
      _S_initialize_once();

[PATCH] libstdc++/112351 - deal with __gthread_once failure during locale init

[Richard Biener]

The following makes the C++98 locale init path follow the way the
C++11 performs initialization.  This way we deal with pthread_once
failing, falling back to non-threadsafe initialization which, given we
initialize from the library, should be serialized by the dynamic
loader already.

Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, OK for trunk?
And GCC 13 branch?

Thanks,
Richard.

	PR libstdc++/112351
libstdc++-v3/
	* src/c++98/locale.cc (locale::facet::_S_get_c_locale):
	Always perform non-threadsafe init when threadsafe init
	failed.
