==289173==ABORTING

Cause
=====

The start functions of the various worker threads of the session daemon
are implemented in separate translation units (TU). To make use of the
lttng_thread API, they all define different control structures to
control their shutdown.

Those structures are all named 'thread_notifiers' and are all allocated
using zmalloc<>. The various instances of zmalloc<thread_notifiers> all
end up having the same mangled name (e.g.
_Z7zmallocI16thread_notifiersEPT_v).

At link time, only one instance of zmalloc<thread_notifiers> is kept.
Since those structures all have different layout/sizes, this is
problematic. However, it is an acceptable behaviour according to the ODR
[1].

I first considered making the various memory allocation functions in
macros.hpp 'static' which results in each TU holding the appropriate
specialization of the various functions. While this works, it doesn't
make us ODR-compliant. To make a long story short, a program defining
multiple types sharing the same name, in the same namespace, is
ill-formed.

Another concern is that marking all templated free-functions as static
will eventually result in code bloat.

Solution
========

All structures defined in TUs (but not in a header) are placed in
unnamed namespaces (also called anonymous namespaces) [2].

This results in separate copies of the templated functions being
generated when specialized using a structure in an anonymous
namespace (e.g. _Z7zmallocIN12_GLOBAL__N_116thread_notifiersEEPT_v).

We could have renamed the various `thread_notifiers` structures to give
them different names. However, I found those are not the only structures
sharing a name in different TUs. For instance, the same problem applies
to `struct lttng_index` (index in a stream, index in a map).

I propose we systematically namespace structures defined in TUs in the
future.

This will also save us trouble if those POD structures eventually become
non-POD: we would experience the same "clashes" if those structures had
constructors, for example.
