See also #116179:
When a scoped thread is implicitly joined, the destructors of thread-local variables are not guaranteed to have completed when the scope is exited. When a scoped thread is explicitly joined, however, the destructors of thread-local variables do complete before the scope is exited.
Scoped thread implicit join fails 'happens before' guarantee
As documented in the Rust Atomics and Locks book by Mara Bos, "joining a thread creates a happens-before relationship between the joined thread and what happens after the join() call". This is not true for implicit joins on scoped threads.
I tried this code:
use std::{hint::black_box, mem::replace, thread};
static mut CONTROL: Option<String> = None;
fn main() {
// Explicit join of scoped thread.
{
for _ in 0..5000 {
thread::scope(|s| {
let h = s.spawn(|| {
FOO.with(|v| {
black_box(v);
});
});
h.join().unwrap();
});
// SAFETY: this happens after the thread join, which provides a `happens before` guarantee
let v = unsafe { &CONTROL };
black_box(format!("{:?}", v));
print!(".");
}
println!("Completed EXPLICIT join loop.");
}
println!();
// Implicit join of scoped thread.
{
for _ in 0..5000 {
thread::scope(|s| {
let _h = s.spawn(|| {
FOO.with(|v| {
black_box(v);
});
});
});
// SAFETY: this happens after the implicit thread join, which should provide a `happens before` guarantee
let v = unsafe { &CONTROL };
black_box(format!("{:?}", v));
print!(".");
}
println!("Completed IMPLICIT join loop.");
}
}
struct Foo(());
impl Drop for Foo {
fn drop(&mut self) {
// SAFETY: this happens before the thread join, which provides a `happens before` guarantee
let _: Option<String> = unsafe { replace(&mut CONTROL, Some("abcd".to_owned())) };
}
}
thread_local! {
static FOO: Foo = Foo(());
}
I expected to see this happen: Both the explicit join and implicit join portions of the code should terminate normally.
Instead, this happened: The explicit join portion terminates normally as expected, but the implicit join portion panics (the number of iterations on the loop before it panics varies) .
This issue is related to issue #116179.
