Time to update.
However, regardless of the version you're using, it's a bug in Cygwin.
The pthread_key_create function checks the incoming pthread_key_t pointer
for being a valid object already and,if so, bails out with EBUSY. This
is arguably wrong, as your example shows, which reuses pthread_key_t
slots already used before. Besides, EBUSY isn't defined as a valid
error code returned by pthread_key_create.
I'll fix that in CVS. For the time being, a working workaround would
be:
for (i = KEYS_COUNT - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
fprintf (stderr, "trying to get key #%d\n", i); fflush (stderr);
mykeys[i] = (pthread_key_t) NULL;
int err = pthread_key_create (&mykeys[i], free);
if (err != 0) { fprintf (stderr, "pthread_key_create -> %d\n", err); abort
(); }
}
Thanks for the testcase!
