[jira] [Commented] (AMQCPP-442) Segfaults, aborts in ActiveMQConnection::close()/InactivityMonitor::close()

Timothy Bish commented on AMQCPP-442:
-------------------------------------

I'd first recommend that you try with the latest released code v3.4.5.  If you still see a problem then it'd be helpful for you to provide a fully functioning test app that demonstrates the problem.

> I'm working on a C application that uses AMQ-CPP 3.4.4 to send messages to an ActiveMQ broker. The app encompasses a C++ class that encapsulates the MessageProducer and ActiveMQ connection, and it uses an instance of the class in each of a group of worker threads (Unix pthreads) that send the messages (I'll attach the header and CPP source for the class). I've been testing with 10, 15 and 20 worker threads.
> The app is experiencing intermittent crashes in the destructor for activemq::core::ActiveMQConnection, when ActiveMQConnection::close() is called (when it's time to shut down the app's worker threads). In the lowest levels of the stacktrace, there is apparently an attempt to free or move unallocated memory, causing either a segfault or abort (I'll also attach stack traces). Most of the time, the connection closes normally; I haven't been able to identify circumstances under which the crashes occur.
> I'm new to AMQ-CPP, but here's my guess as to what's happening: as a part of the connection close, activemq::transport::inactivity::InactivityMonitor::close() is called. That in turn calls activemq::threads::CompositeTaskRunner::shutdown(), which calls decaf::lang::Thread::currentThread(). currentThread() calls pthread_getspecific() with the key currentThreadKey, which returns NULL, so Thread::createForeignThreadInstance() is called. But that doesn't seem right -- the connection is being closed so that the current pthread can be shut down.
> At any rate, the stacktrace after the crashes have always included InactivityMonitor::close() -> CompositeTaskRunner::shutdown() -> Thread::currentThread() -> Thread::createForeignThreadInstance().
> Of course, I may be setting things up incorrectly. Is there an assumption that ActiveMQConnections are called from decaf Threads, rather than from pthreads in C?
> The problem is not critical because the app is about to shut down anyway. As a workaround to prevent connection closes before shutdown, I'm using wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=0 in the MQ URI.
> libactivemq was built from source.
