--- Comment #8 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- As Andrew says, the problem here is that __cxa_get_globals is being used after the global has been destroyed. Nothing done to the _M_init member in the destructor can be changed to fix that, accessing an object after its destructor runs is undefined, period. What might "work" is to make the _M_init member a static data member, which outlives the singleton instance of the class. Something like this: --- a/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_globals.cc +++ b/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_globals.cc @@ -90,29 +90,34 @@ eh_globals_dtor(void* ptr) struct __eh_globals_init { __gthread_key_t _M_key; - bool _M_init; + static bool _S_init; - __eh_globals_init() : _M_init(false) - { + __eh_globals_init() + { if (__gthread_active_p()) - _M_init = __gthread_key_create(&_M_key, eh_globals_dtor) == 0; + _S_init = __gthread_key_create(&_M_key, eh_globals_dtor) == 0; } ~__eh_globals_init() { - if (_M_init) + if (_S_init) __gthread_key_delete(_M_key); - _M_init = false; + _S_init = false; } + + __eh_globals_init(const __eh_globals_init&) = delete; + __eh_globals_init& operator=(const __eh_globals_init&) = delete; }; +bool __eh_globals_init::_S_init = false; + static __eh_globals_init init; extern "C" __cxa_eh_globals* __cxxabiv1::__cxa_get_globals_fast() _GLIBCXX_NOTHROW { __cxa_eh_globals* g; - if (init._M_init) + if (init._S_init) g = static_cast<__cxa_eh_globals*>(__gthread_getspecific(init._M_key)); else g = &eh_globals; @@ -123,7 +128,7 @@ extern "C" __cxa_eh_globals* __cxxabiv1::__cxa_get_globals() _GLIBCXX_NOTHROW { __cxa_eh_globals* g; - if (init._M_init) + if (init._S_init) { g = static_cast<__cxa_eh_globals*>(__gthread_getspecific(init._M_key)); if (!g) This doesn't really seem correct though, as it just means we revert to the eh_globals single-threaded fallback buffer after _S_init becomes false. But that fallback buffer has also been destroyed at that point. So maybe we need to make eh_globals immortal.
