Hang in FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE after clock_gettime

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Everyone,

I'm working with Botan (https://botan.randombit.net/). It is a TLS
security library written in C++11.

On an old Pentium III machine the self tests are hanging. Other
platforms are OK. The strace tail is shown below.

I am not that familiar with this type of debugging, and I am looking
for a direction to go. I've seen some similar problems on the web,
including an indictment of clock_gettime, but the problems lack a good
analysis of the problem.

My question is, is a futex with a 2147483647 or -1 expected? Where
should I be looking to begin to narrow the problem down?

Thanks in advance.
