Yes it is a problem that the created thread adds itself to the list. So a simple solution would be to just use `Thread::number_of_threads() > 0` as the guard. That means we will skip the lock whilst it is unsafe to try and use it, then start using it once the main thread has "attached" even though it is not technically needed until there is another thread created. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/22745#issuecomment-2586086059
