Fixes #7.

Problem

RakPeer teardown raced with its own internal threads because neither of them could be waited on:

  • Both the update/network thread and each socket's recv polling thread were created detached (PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED; the Win32 handle was closed at creation), so Shutdown() could only spin on plain volatile bool flags — which establish no happens-before edge with the threads' writes. TSan on master reports data races on exactly this handshake (endThreads, isMainLoopThreadActive, isRecvFromLoopThreadActive) between Shutdown and both threads.
  • Worse, RNS2_Berkley::BlockOnStopRecvPollingThread() gave up after 1 second if the blocking recvfrom never woke (its only wake-up was a best-effort datagram sent to self). Shutdown then released the socket and DestroyInstance freed the RakPeer while the leaked thread kept dereferencing both (binding.eventHandler->AllocRNS2RecvStruct(), RecvFromBlocking(this)) — a use-after-free that corrupts the heap and crashes at varying points later in teardown. The destroy/recreate churn in ManyClientsOneServerDeallocateBlocking (8 clients recycled every ~2 s for 30 s) made hitting that 1 s abandonment likely under CI load, matching the issue's symptom profile (crash site varies, full-suite/load dependent, invisible under a debugger).

Fix

  • RakThread gains CreateJoinable()/Join(); the update thread and the recv polling thread are now joinable and joined before any state they use is torn down. The join also provides the memory-visibility edge the flag spin never did. (The legacy detached Create() is unchanged for its other callers.)
  • SO_RCVTIMEO (500 ms) bounds the recv thread's blocking recvfrom/recvmmsg so it re-checks endThreads even if the wake-up datagram is lost; the 1-second abandonment deadline is gone. Both recv loops already treat a zero/negative return as "no data" and loop.
  • The teardown handshake flags (RakPeer::endThreads, isMainLoopThreadActive, RNS2_Berkley::endThreads) are std::atomic<bool> instead of volatile bool.

Adjacent data races surfaced by TSan on the same churn path, fixed while here:

  • GetTimeUS_Linux's lazy initialTime init (now a magic static; a racing thread could read a torn/stale base time — wrong timestamps feed directly into timeout logic),
  • ThreadsafeAllocatingQueue::PopInaccurate's unlocked emptiness probe,
  • RunUpdateCycle's unlocked requestedConnectionQueue.IsEmpty() check,
  • LocklessUint32_t (now std::atomic; GetValue() was an unsynchronized read, and the __sync_fetch_and_add branch returned the pre-change value unlike every other platform).

The CloseConnection index-0 fallback the issue mentions was already guarded in #5 and is unchanged here.

Tests

  • ManyClientsOneServerDeallocateBlocking is un-quarantined — the CI GTEST_SKIP referencing this issue is removed.
  • New Tests/Unit/RakThreadTests.cpp: joinable-thread API (watched fail before implementing).
  • New Tests/Integration/PeerTeardownTests.cpp: churns Startup/Connect/Shutdown/DestroyInstance with live connections, including DestroyInstance without a prior Shutdown, single-client ×12 cycles and 8-clients-at-once ×3 rounds.

Verification

  • Linux (Docker, ubuntu:24.04): full ctest suite in Debug and Release, 157/157 both; plus the teardown tests --gtest_repeat=5 in Release.
  • macOS ASan+UBSan: full integration suite ×3 (34/34 each, one process, quarantine off), new churn test --gtest_repeat=10.
  • macOS TSan: the teardown-lifecycle races reported on master are gone. Remaining TSan reports are the engine's long-standing by-design unsynchronized remoteSystemList hint-reads (isActive/connectMode read from the user thread), which exist during normal operation and predate this issue — worth tracking separately.

…em (#7)

RakPeer teardown raced with its own internal threads because neither of
them could be waited on:

- Both the update/network thread and each socket's recv polling thread
  were created detached (PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED; the Win32 handle was
  closed at creation), so Shutdown() could only spin on plain 'volatile
  bool' flags, which establish no happens-before edge with the threads'
  writes.
- Worse, RNS2_Berkley::BlockOnStopRecvPollingThread() gave up after 1
  second if the blocking recvfrom never woke (its only wake-up was a
  best-effort datagram sent to self). Shutdown then released the socket
  and DestroyInstance freed the RakPeer while the leaked thread kept
  dereferencing both (binding.eventHandler->AllocRNS2RecvStruct(),
  RecvFromBlocking(this)) -- a use-after-free that corrupted the heap and
  crashed at varying points later in teardown. The destroy/recreate churn
  in ManyClientsOneServerDeallocateBlocking made hitting that 1s
  abandonment likely under CI load.

The fix makes teardown deterministic:

- RakThread gains CreateJoinable()/Join(); the update thread and the recv
  polling thread are now joinable and joined before any state they use is
  torn down. The join also provides the memory-visibility edge the flag
  spin never did.
- SO_RCVTIMEO (500ms) bounds the recv thread's blocking recvfrom/recvmmsg
  so it re-checks endThreads even if the wake-up datagram is lost; the
  1-second abandonment deadline is gone.
- The teardown handshake flags (RakPeer::endThreads,
  isMainLoopThreadActive, RNS2_Berkley::endThreads) are std::atomic<bool>
  instead of volatile bool.

Adjacent data races surfaced by TSan on the same churn path, fixed while
here: GetTimeUS_Linux's lazy initialTime init (magic static now),
ThreadsafeAllocatingQueue::PopInaccurate's unlocked emptiness probe,
RunUpdateCycle's unlocked requestedConnectionQueue.IsEmpty() check, and
LocklessUint32_t (now std::atomic; GetValue() was an unsynchronized read
and the __sync_fetch_and_add branch returned the pre-change value, unlike
every other platform).

ManyClientsOneServerDeallocateBlocking is un-quarantined: it runs under
CI again. New coverage: RakThreadTests (unit) for the joinable API, and
PeerTeardownTests (integration) churning Startup/Connect/Shutdown/
DestroyInstance with live connections, including DestroyInstance without
a prior Shutdown.

Verified on Linux (Docker, ubuntu:24.04) in Debug and Release, full ctest
suite, plus repeated runs of the teardown tests in Release; on macOS with
ASan+UBSan (full integration suite, and the new churn test x10) and TSan
(teardown-lifecycle races gone; remaining reports are the engine's
long-standing by-design unsynchronized remoteSystemList reads).

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change replaces selected volatile and platform-specific synchronization with C++ atomics, adds joinable thread creation and joining, synchronizes peer and queue teardown, improves receive-thread shutdown, and adds concurrency and peer teardown tests.

Changes

Thread safety and teardown

Layer / File(s) Summary
Atomic counters and synchronized state
Source/include/mafianet/DS_ThreadsafeAllocatingQueue.h, Source/include/mafianet/LocklessTypes.h, Source/src/LocklessTypes.cpp, Source/src/GetTime.cpp
LocklessUint32_t uses atomic storage and post-update results. Linux timing uses a function-local static baseline. Queue operations use the queue mutex.
Joinable thread API
Source/include/mafianet/thread.h, Source/src/RakThread.cpp, Tests/Unit/RakThreadTests.cpp
RakThread adds platform-specific joinable thread creation and joining. Unit tests verify completion visibility and independent joins.
RakPeer thread lifecycle
Source/include/mafianet/peer.h, Source/src/RakPeer.cpp
RakPeer stores joinable update-thread state, joins the update thread during shutdown, and protects requested-connection processing with its mutex.
Receive-thread teardown
Source/include/mafianet/socket2.h, Source/src/RakNetSocket2.cpp, Source/src/RakNetSocket2_Berkley.cpp
RNS2_Berkley uses atomic shutdown state, joinable receive threads, receive timeouts, wake-up datagrams, and thread joining. Windows timeout logging is suppressed.
Peer teardown and concurrency regression coverage
Tests/Integration/PeerTeardownTests.cpp, Tests/Integration/ManyClientsOneServerDeallocateBlockingTests.cpp, Tests/Unit/ConcurrencyPrimitivesTests.cpp
Tests cover peer destruction, atomic counters, queue operations, timing initialization, and the restored deallocation stress test.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 705fb

The PR improves thread shutdown, but it still invokes a public connection callback while holding a mutex; cancellation can therefore deadlock or access freed request state, causing hangs or crashes. A previously identified fixed-port/deadline risk in the restored integration test also remains open, so the PR is not merge-ready until these issues are addressed.

I’m a rabbit with threads in a neat little row,
Atomic counters now safely grow.
Wake the socket, then join without fright,
Tests check teardown through day and night.
Hop, hop—the peers close right.

In `@Source/src/GetTime.cpp`:
- Around line 51-53: Remove the Windows-only initialized flag and its guard from
GetTimeUS_Windows(); since the guarded block performs no active initialization,
do not replace it with another guard, or use std::call_once only if actual
initialization must be retained.

In `@Source/src/LocklessTypes.cpp`:
- Around line 37-41: Add GoogleTest regression coverage under Tests/Unit/ for
LocklessUint32_t::Increment, LocklessUint32_t::Decrement, and concurrent
GetValue() access; on GCC/Linux, also cover concurrent first calls to
MafiaNet::GetTimeUS(), and verify concurrent Push and PopInaccurate operations
preserve every entry without loss or duplication. Apply the tests to the
synchronized-state implementations in Source/src/LocklessTypes.cpp lines 37-41,
Source/src/GetTime.cpp lines 181-195, and
Source/include/mafianet/DS_ThreadsafeAllocatingQueue.h lines 73-82; no
production-code changes are requested.

In `@Source/src/RakPeer.cpp`:
- Around line 5738-5743: Update UpdateNetworkLoop so the
RequestedConnectionStruct referenced by rcs remains protected while all
processing accesses occur: either hold requestedConnectionQueueMutex until
processing completes or transfer ownership into a local work item before
unlocking, ensuring CancelConnectionAttempt cannot delete the object
concurrently.

In `@Tests/Integration/ManyClientsOneServerDeallocateBlockingTests.cpp`:
- Around line 164-169: Update the integration test setup around
WaitForConnectionRequestsToComplete to use an OS-assigned ephemeral server port,
retaining the value from GetInternalID().GetPort() for client connections.
Replace bare RakSleep synchronization and unbounded waits with deadline-based
polling loops that continue pumping both peers, including a timeout for
WaitForConnectionRequestsToComplete, while preserving the test’s existing
connection and teardown behavior.

In `@Tests/Integration/PeerTeardownTests.cpp`:
- Around line 57-69: Update WaitForConnection to return success only after both
client and server have observed the connection: continue pumping both peers and
poll their respective connection states, or record the server-side connection
event before returning. Preserve the timeout and false result when either side
does not observe the handshake.
- Around line 86-101: Ensure every test-created RakPeerInterface client is
registered for assertion-safe fixture cleanup before any fatal assertion: update
Tests/Integration/PeerTeardownTests.cpp lines 86-101 and 106-112 to register
each client immediately after creation, and lines 120-137 to do the same for
each churn client. Update TearDown() to destroy all registered clients, while
avoiding duplicate destruction on the normal path.

In `@Tests/Unit/RakThreadTests.cpp`:
- Around line 56-59: Update the test around the CreateJoinable calls so handleA
is joined before the fatal assertion on the second thread creation can exit.
Ensure the failure path joins handleA before returning, preventing the thread
from outliving counterA and releasing its resources.

- RunUpdateCycle now holds requestedConnectionQueueMutex for the whole
  connection-request pass. It used to unlock after fetching the entry and
  keep dereferencing it while CancelConnectionAttempt (user thread) could
  delete it under that same mutex -- a use-after-free; the delete branch
  also freed the entry before unlinking it, leaving a dangling pointer
  visible to other threads. Entries are now unlinked and deleted under the
  held lock. The only OnDirectSocketSend implementers (PacketLogger,
  StatisticsHistory) don't re-enter connection APIs, so holding the lock
  across the send cannot deadlock.
- GetTimeUS_Windows: removed the racy first-call `initialized` guard; its
  body was entirely commented out, so it only wrote a non-atomic flag from
  every calling thread.
- RakThreadTests: join thread A before the fatal assertion if creating
  thread B fails, so a failed create can't leave a thread referencing the
  dead stack frame.
- PeerTeardownTests: clients are fixture-tracked and destroyed in
  TearDown() so cleanup survives a failed ASSERT_; WaitForConnection now
  requires BOTH peers to report IS_CONNECTED before returning.
- New Tests/Unit/ConcurrencyPrimitivesTests.cpp: LocklessUint32_t
  return-after-change semantics and lost-update check under concurrent
  increments/decrements, ThreadsafeAllocatingQueue concurrent
  push/PopInaccurate with no lost or duplicated entries, and concurrent
  GetTimeUS calls sharing one time base. All join-based, no wall-clock
  deadlines; TSan-clean.

Do not invoke plug-in callbacks while holding requestedConnectionQueueMutex.

OnDirectSocketSend is a public virtual callback. A plug-in can call CancelConnectionAttempt, which deletes the current RequestedConnectionStruct. POSIX can deadlock on the non-recursive mutex. Windows can continue through the recursive CRITICAL_SECTION and then dereference the deleted rcs. Release the mutex before the callback and datagram send, while preserving request lifetime with an in-flight state or work item.

Join successfully created threads before a fatal creation failure.

A later CreateJoinable failure makes ASSERT_EQ return immediately. Previously created threads can then access stack-owned test data after the test frame is destroyed.

  • Tests/Unit/ConcurrencyPrimitivesTests.cpp#L130-L131: join successful producer threads before failing so queue cannot be destroyed while a producer uses it.
  • Tests/Unit/ConcurrencyPrimitivesTests.cpp#L167-L169: join successful time threads before failing so they cannot write to expired results storage.
