--- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I think the new GCC is correct here and the old one accidentally just got it
"right".
We have:
CentralFreeListPadded Static::central_cache_[kNumClasses];
Which is of type:
class CentralFreeListPadded : public CentralFreeListPaddedTo<
sizeof(CentralFreeList) % 64>
CentralFreeListPaddedTo is defined as either:
class CentralFreeListPaddedTo : public CentralFreeList
or
class CentralFreeListPaddedTo<0> : public CentralFreeList
CentralFreeList has the following constructor:
CentralFreeList() : lock_(base::LINKER_INITIALIZED) { }
So it just happened that LINKER_INITIALIZED was also zero:
namespace base {
enum LinkerInitialized { LINKER_INITIALIZED };
}
So this is a bug in tcmalloc as far as I can tell.
Before the call to the constructor was not done but after it is done.
