Goal
Fix a rare crash that has been observed in
BugsnagBreadcrumbsWriteCrashReport()
.A small number of crashes have been seen with the signature:
... which appears to be due to
BugsnagBreadcrumbsWriteCrashReport()
accessing breadcrumbs that have been freed.In theory this should not occur, because all possible writer threads should be suspended while this function runs, but it's possible that a call to
thread_suspend
fails or a thread is spawned after the thread list has been captured, leading to an active writer.Changeset
Adds an
atomic_bool
to prevent memory being freed whileBugsnagBreadcrumbsWriteCrashReport()
is running, and makesg_breadcrumbs_head
atomic to ensure it is fully stored before memory is freed.Testing
Amends
-testCrashReportWriterConcurrency
to verify thatBugsnagBreadcrumbsWriteCrashReport()
is safe to call while writer threads are running.
