[jira] [Comment Edited] (XERCESC-2162) ThreadTest freezes with Intel 17.0.5.239 and 18.0.1.163

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2162?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16719074#comment-16719074 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------

I tried two tests:

1. no optimization - works
2. full debugging plus -O3 - fails just the same

(gdb) where
#0  0x00007ffe8e57fe2d in nanosleep () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1  0x00007ffe8e57fcc4 in sleep () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#2  0x0000000000409912 in main (argc=-21216, argv=0x7fffffffad20)
    at /a-very-long-path/.../ThreadTest.cpp:1334

The failure is here:

                for (threadNum=0; threadNum < gRunInfo.numThreads; threadNum++) {
                    if (gThreadInfo[threadNum].fHeartBeat == false) {

The fHeartBeat is optimized away, possibly because it was not declared volatile:

(gdb) print gThreadInfo[threadNum].fInProgress
value has been optimized out

There is no "volatile" protecting the variable, nor any data structure containing it.  Thus, the compiler is free to optimize it any way it wants to.

where fHeartBeat is never true because it is optimized away:

(gdb) print gThreadInfo[threadNum].fInProgress
value has been optimized out

> The ThreadTest1 hangs forever when Xerces-C 3.2.2 is compiled using the Intel compiler versions 17.0.5.239 or 18.0.1.163.  Running ThreadTest1 directly in gdb reveals that all ten threads exit, and main() is stuck in a wait loop calling sleep() forever.
