Hi,
I have a question about apr_pool_cleanup_register for a child's pool.
I register a cleanup function that is called when the pool is
destroyed. In the cleanup function, I join a background thread that
first writes some log to a database:
static void mbrace_child_init(apr_pool_t *pool, server_rec *s)
{
apr_pool_cleanup_register(pool, 0, &mbrace_bgthread_cleanup,
apr_pool_cleanup_null);
}
static apr_status_t mbrace_bgthread_cleanup(void*)
{
req_log_mngr->stop()
}
But, when it connects to the database in the background thread, it
sometimes ends up in the error below. I do not fully understand why,
but are there any restrictions to what I can do in the cleanup
function?
When running gdb on the generated core-dump, you can see that it
happens on line 134.
125 APR_DECLARE(void) apr_allocator_destroy(apr_allocator_t *allocator)
126 {
127 apr_uint32_t index;
128 apr_memnode_t *node, **ref;
129
130 for (index = 0; index < MAX_INDEX; index++) {
131 ref = &allocator->free[index];
132 while ((node = *ref) != NULL) {
133 *ref = node->next;
134 free(node); <================ here it happens!!
135 }
136 }
137
138 free(allocator);
139 }
Hopefully somebody can push me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Andrej
