since commit c9f415d7ea, it has been
possible that the allocator is application-provided code, which cannot
necessarily run safely on io thread stacks, and which should not be
able to see the existence of io threads, since they are an
implementation detail.
instead of having the io thread request and possibly allocate its
queue (and the map structures leading to it), make the submitting
thread responsible for this, and pass the queue pointer into the io
thread via its args structure. this eliminates the only early error
case in io threads, making it no longer necessary to pass an error
status back to the submitting thread via the args structure.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
