http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3342 Summary: TLS on dynamically loaded DLLs fails on Windows earlier than Vista Product: D Version: 2.034 Platform: Other URL: http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=187 OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: DMD AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com ReportedBy: bugzilla digitalmars.com 23:02:40 PDT --- A full description of the problem: http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=187 The symptom of the problem is erratic memory corruption. The only known workaround at the moment is to not use TLS on dynamically loaded DLLs for machines running Windows XP or earlier. Use __gshared instead. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

It's currently not possible to avoid using TLS (even if you completely avoid Phobos), since druntime uses it. Note that this problem only applies to _implicit_ TLS. Explicit TLS, using TlsGetValue() and TlsSetValue(), still works. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

It needs to access some global data in ntdll.dll, and the way to get there is not really obvious, but seems to be valid for all the ntdll-versions I have found on my system: SP2, one inbetween and SP3. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3342 23:11:09 PST --- I've been looking at the patch, it's an impressive piece of work! But I'd like it to detect the Windows version, and not do anything if it is Vista or newer, as those systems don't have the TLS bug. If we don't do this check, since the patch relies on undocumented ntdll internals, D apps are vulnerable to breaking with Windows updates. Also, skywing has some code to deal with this at http://www.nynaeve.net/Code/VistaImplicitTls.cpp Can you check it to see if anything was missed? Thanks! -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3342 PST --- There is a detection whether _tls_index is set and the tls-data-array contains a valid pointer (thinking about it the latter might be flawed), so this should cover any situation where the OS did not setup TLS correctly (when loaded at process init time, TLS is correct on XP, too). Do you think, that an explicite version check is better? What about applications that are configured to pretend running under a different windows version? As much as I can see, the referenced code contains two things not in the patch: - it keeps track of used tls-indexes in a bitmap, but XP does not have this. That's why the patch prevents unloading of the DLL. - it uses ExReleaseRundownProtection before accessing some TEB data, but this seems to be an (undocumented) kernel function, and I think we should be safe with our operations as the nt-loader holds a lock that disallows reentrence into DllMain -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
