木头云 5517f48681 Fix FreeBSD segfault by unlocking mutex before destruction
Root cause: FreeBSD's robust mutex implementation (libthr) maintains a per-thread
robust list of mutexes. The error 'rb error 14' (EFAULT - Bad address) indicates
that the robust list contained a dangling pointer to a destroyed mutex.

When a mutex object is destroyed (via close() or clear()), if the mutex is still
in the current thread's robust list, FreeBSD's libthr may try to access it later
and encounter an invalid pointer, causing a segmentation fault.

This happened in MutexTest.TryLockExceptionSafety because:
1. The test called try_lock() which successfully acquired the lock
2. The test ended without calling unlock()
3. The mutex destructor called close()
4. close() called pthread_mutex_destroy() on a mutex that was:
   - Still locked by the current thread, OR
   - Still in the thread's robust list

Solution:
Call pthread_mutex_unlock() before pthread_mutex_destroy() in both close()
and clear() methods. This ensures:
1. The mutex is unlocked if we hold the lock
2. The mutex is removed from the thread's robust list
3. Subsequent pthread_mutex_destroy() is safe

We ignore errors from pthread_mutex_unlock() because:
- If we don't hold the lock, EPERM is expected and harmless
- If the mutex is already unlocked, this is a no-op
- Even if there's an error, we still want to proceed with cleanup

This fix is platform-agnostic and should not affect Linux/QNX behavior,
as both also use pthread robust mutexes with similar semantics.

Fixes the segfault in MutexTest.TryLockExceptionSafety on FreeBSD 15.

cpp-ipc (libipc) - C++ IPC Library

MIT licensed Build Status Build status Vcpkg package

A high-performance inter-process communication library using shared memory on Linux/Windows/FreeBSD.

  • Compilers with C++17 support are recommended (msvc-2017/gcc-7/clang-4)
  • No other dependencies except STL.
  • Only lock-free or lightweight spin-lock is used.
  • Circular array is used as the underline data structure.
  • ipc::route supports single write and multiple read. ipc::channel supports multiple read and write. (Note: currently, a channel supports up to 32 receivers, but there is no such a limit for the sender.)
  • Broadcasting is used by default, but user can choose any read/ write combinations.
  • No long time blind wait. (Semaphore will be used after a certain number of retries.)
  • Vcpkg way of installation is supported. E.g. vcpkg install cpp-ipc
