[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2305] (Resolved) dmalloc calls malloc before malloc_init constructor called.

[Venkatesh Srinivas via Redmine]

Issue #2305 has been updated by Venkatesh Srinivas.

Status changed from New to Resolved

I believe commit e12d3396c777165504d60d2a1408dcd7cb63660d solves this bug. The preinit.c test case now passes, both in threaded and unthreaded environments.

Bug #2305: dmalloc calls malloc before malloc_init constructor called.
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2305

Author: John Marino
Status: Resolved
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Venkatesh Srinivas
Category: 
Target version: 


During the development of the .preinit_array ELF section support, it was discovered that a test passed on i386 but failed on x86_64 regardless if the binary was statically or dynamically linked.  The program segfaulted on the first preinit function in the dmalloc function.

i386 uses nmalloc rather than dmalloc and the preinit test case passes just fine on that architecture.

The test case is here: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~marino/preinit.c
The backtrace:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
