// On most modern platforms, the C runtime has a helper function that helps the
// C++ runtime run the thread_local non-trivial destructors when threads exit
// and that code ensures that they are run in the correct order on program exit
// too ([basic.start.term]/2: "The destruction of all constructed objects with
// thread storage duration within that thread strongly happens before
// destroying any object with static storage duration."). In the absence of
// this function, the ordering can be wrong depending on when the first
// non-trivial thread_local object was created relative to other statics.
// Moreover, this can be racy and having our own thread_local early in
// QThreadPrivate::start() made it even more so. See QTBUG-129846 for analysis.
//
// There's a good correlation between this C++11 feature and our ability to
// call QThreadPrivate::cleanup() from destroy_thread_data().
//
// https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=libstdc%2B%2B-v3/libsupc%2B%2B/atexit_thread.cc;hb=releases/gcc-14.2.0#l133

//
// Thus, the destruction of QThreadData is split into 3 steps:
// - finish()
// - cleanup()
// - deref & delete
//
// The reason for the first split is that user content may run as a result of
// the finished() signal, in thread_local destructors or similar, so we don't
// want to destroy the event dispatcher too soon. If we did, the event
// dispatcher could get recreated.
//
// For auxiliary threads started with QThread, finish() is run as soon as run()
// returns, while cleanup() and the deref happen at pthread_set_specific
// destruction time (except for broken_threadlocal_dtors, see above).
//
// For auxiliary threads started with something else and adopted as a
// QAdoptedThread, there's only one choice: all three steps happen at at
// pthread_set_specific destruction time.
//
// Finally, for the thread that called ::exit() (which in most cases happens by
// returning from the main() function), finish() and cleanup() happen at
// function-local static destructor time, and the deref & delete happens later,
// at global static destruction time. That way, we delete the event dispatcher
// before QLibraryStore's clean up runs and unloads remaining plugins. This
// strategy was chosen because of crashes observed while running the event
// dispatcher's destructor, and though the cause of the crash was something
// else (QFactoryLoader always loads with PreventUnloadHint set), other plugins
// may still attempt to access QThreadData in their global destructors.

// Handling of exceptions and cancellations for start(), finish() and cleanup()
//
// These routines expect that the user code throw no exceptions. Exiting
// start() with an exception should cause std::terminate to be called. Thread
// cancellations are allowed: if one is detected, the implementation is
// expected to cleanly call QThreadPrivate::finish(), emit the necessary
// signals and notifications, and clean up after itself. [Note there's a small
// race between QThread::start() returning and QThreadPrivate::start() turning
// cancellations off, during which time no finish() is called.]
//
// These routines implement application termination by unexpected exceptions by
// simply not having any try/catch block at all. As start() is called directly
// from the C library's PThread runtime, there should be no active C++
// try/catch block (### if we ever change this to std::thread, the assumption
// needs to be rechecked, though both libc++ and libstdc++ at the time of
// writing are try/catch-free). [except.handle]/8 says:
//
// > If no matching handler is found, the function std::terminate is invoked;
// > whether or not the stack is unwound before this invocation of std::terminate
// > is implementation-defined.
//
// Both major implementations of Unix C++ Standard Libraries terminate without
// unwinding, which is useful to detect the unhandled exception in post-mortem
// debugging. This code adds no try/catch to retain that ability.
//
// Because of that, we could have marked these functions noexcept and ignored
// exception safety. We don't because of PThread cancellations. The GNU libc
// implements PThread cancellations using stack unwinding, so a cancellation
// *will* unwind the stack and *will* execute our C++ destructors, unlike
// exceptions. Therefore, our code in start() must be exception-safe after we
// turn cancellations back on, and until we turn them off again in finish().
//
