[PATCH spice-server v2 03/15] test-display-base: Avoid usage after free when the wakeup timer is freed

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

 



The wakeup timer is used by the worker thread and by the
main thread.
Destroying the object before destroying the worker thread
can lead to use after free.
Destroying the worker thread first makes sure we don't race.
This is detected easily when compiling the test with address sanitizer.
