我为Lua编写了一个非常简单的C库,它由一个启动线程的函数组成,所述线程除了循环之外什么都不做:
#include "lua.h"
#include "lauxlib.h"
#include
#include
pthread_t handle;
void* mythread(void* args)
{
printf("In the thread !\n");
while(1);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int start_mythread()
{
return pthread_create(&handle, NULL, mythread, NULL);
}
int start_mythread_lua(lua_State* L)
{
lua_pushnumber(L, start_mythread());
return 1;
}
static const luaL_Reg testlib[] = {
{"start_mythread", start_mythread_lua},
{NULL, NULL}
};
int luaopen_test(lua_State* L)
{
/*
//for lua 5.2
luaL_newlib(L, testlib);
lua_setglobal(L, "test");
*/
luaL_register(L, "test", testlib);
return 1;
}
现在,如果我写一个非常简单的Lua脚本,那就是:
require("test")
test.start_mythread()
运行脚本lua myscript.lua有时会导致段错误.以下是GDB对核心转储的看法:
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

主线程的堆栈中不时有一些变化.
似乎start_thread函数想要跳转到某个地址(在这个例子中,b778b75c),这个地址有时恰好属于无法访问的内存.

但是,到目前为止,我一直很好,只是打开lua解释器并一个接一个地手动输入相同的指令.
另外,一个C程序使用相同的lib执行相同的操作:
int start_mythread();
int main()
{
int ret = start_mythread();
return ret;
}
应该在我的测试中从未失败过.
我尝试过Lua 5.1和5.2,但都无济于事.
编辑:我应该指出我在运行32位Debian Wheezy(Linux 3.2)的单核eeePC上进行了测试.
我刚刚在我的主机上测试了(4核64位Arch linux),并且每次都使用lua myscript.luasegfaults 启动脚本...从解释器提示输入命令工作正常,以及C程序以上.
我之所以写这个小型lib的原因是因为我正在写一个更大的库,我首先遇到了这个问题.经过几个小时的无效调试,包括逐个删除每个共享结构/变量(是的,我是绝望的),我已经深入到这段代码.
所以,我的猜测是,我对Lua做错了,但那可能是什么呢?我尽可能多地搜索了这个问题,但我发现大多数人都遇到了从几个线程使用Lua API的问题(这不是我在这里想要做的).
如果你有一个想法,任何帮助将不胜感激.
编辑为了更精确,我想知道在编写用于Lua脚本的C lib时是否应该对线程采取额外的预防措施.Lua是否需要在动态加载的库中创建的线程在"卸载"库时终止?
