--- Comment #41 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The new std::call_once using a futex is not backwards compatible, so I think it needs to be reverted, or hidden behind an ABI-breaking flag. The new std::once_flag::_M_activate() function sets _M_once=1 when an initialization is in progress. With glibc, if a call to the new std::call_once happens before a call to the old version of std::call_once, then glibc's pthread_once will find no fork generation value in _M_once and so will think it should run the init_function itself. Both threads will run their init_function, instead of the second one waiting for the first to finish. With musl, if a call to the old std::call_once happens before a call to the new std::call_once, then the second thread won't set _M_once=3 and so musl's pthread_once won't wake the second thread when the first finishes. The second thread will sleep forever (or until a spurious wake from the futex wait).
