When the target is being created, the target list acquires the mutex for the duration of the target creation process. However if a module callback is enabled and is being called in parallel there exists an opportunity to deadlock if the callback calls into targetlist. I've created a minimum repro [here](https://gist.github.com/Jlalond/2557e06fa09825f338eca08b1d21884f). ``` command script import dead-lock-example (from above gist) ... target create a.out [hangs] ``` This looks like a straight forward fix, where `CreateTargetInternal` doesn't access any state directly, and instead calls methods which they themselves are thread-safe. So I've moved the lock to when we update the list with the created target. I'm not sure if this is a comprehensive fix, but it does fix my above example and in my (albeit limited) testing, doesn't cause any strange change in behavior.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
