https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18544 Issue ID: 18544 Summary: Thread-safety of "proto" GC before initialisation Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P1 Component: druntime Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: code klickverbot.at https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2057 was merged without thread safety concerns being addressed. The code needs to be checked carefully for its behaviour when several threads are accessing the GC before the ProtoGC has been swapped out with the real implementation (https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/2057#discussion_r168910433). If threads are created using the standard "auto t = new Thread(...); […]" idiom, this is of course not going to be an issue, because the GC will already have been initialised when the child thread is spawned. However, it is conceivable that two independent C threads concurrently start to use D(runtime) code. --
