Bug ID: 78677
Summary: __gthread_key_create assumed not to fail in
eh_globals.cc
Product: gcc
Version: 6.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: chrisj at rtems dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Some operating system, for example RTEMS, may fail to create a POSIX key if not
configured with enough resources. The lack of any error reporting in
__eh_globals_init::__eh_globals_init() means exceptions are silently switched
from thread safe to not being thread safe and this is not a concern for RTEMS.
A way to report errors would be welcomed by RTEMS. We could hook this is a
fatal error so the user is aware there is a critical issue that needs to be
addressed.
Thanks
Chris
