wlr_output_management is inherently racy

Open DemiMarie opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

wlr_output_management as of d1598e82240d6e8ca57729495a94d4e11d222033 is inherently racy, as it has server-created objects that create more server-created objects. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/merge_requests/23#note_187475 for details.

This is a libwayland bug.

This is a libwayland bug.

The erroneous disconnect is certainly a libwayland bug, but I am not certain how best to ensure that all resources are cleaned up. Should libwayland-client automatically call destructors for objects created by requests to zombies? If so, this would require that the XML indicate doing so is safe.
