When pthread_mutex_init() or pthread_cond_init() fails in the debug
implementation (DEBUGLEVEL >= 1), the previously allocated memory was
not freed, causing a memory leak.
This fix ensures that allocated memory is properly freed when pthread
initialization functions fail, preventing resource leaks in error
conditions.
The issue affects:
- ZSTD_pthread_mutex_init() at lib/common/threading.c:146
- ZSTD_pthread_cond_init() at lib/common/threading.c:167
This is particularly important for long-running applications or
scenarios with resource constraints where pthread initialization
might fail due to system limits.
When spawning a Windows thread we have small worker wrapper function that translates
between the interfaces of Windows and POSIX threads.
This wrapper is given a pointer that might get stale before the worker starts running,
resulting in UB and crashes.
This commit adds synchronization so that we know the wrapper has finished reading the data
it needs before we allow the main thread to resume execution.
1. If threads are resized the threads' `ZSTD_pthread_t` might move
while the worker still holds a pointer into it (see more details in #3120).
2. The join operation was waiting for a thread and then return its `thread.arg`
as a return value, but since the `ZSTD_pthread_t thread` was passed by value it
would have a stale `arg` that wouldn't match the thread's actual return value.
This fix changes the `ZSTD_pthread_join` API and removes support for returning
a value. This means that we are diverging from the `pthread_join` API and this
is no longer just an alias.
In the future, if needed, we could return a Windows thread's return value using
`GetExitCodeThread`, but as this path wouldn't be excised in any case, it's
preferable to not add it right now.
