this change prevents the child created concurrently with abort from seeing the SIGABRT disposition change from SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL (other changes are not visible anyway) and prevents leaking the write end of the child pipe to children created by fork in another thread, which may block return of posix_spawn indefinitely if the forked child does not exit or exec. along with other changes, this suggests that __abort_lock should perhaps eventually be renamed to reflect that it's becoming a broader lock on related "process lifetime" state.
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:
