Thread Safety Analysis¶
Introduction¶
Clang Thread Safety Analysis is a C++ language extension which warns about potential race conditions in code. The analysis is completely static (i.e. compile-time); there is no run-time overhead. The analysis is still under active development, but it is mature enough to be deployed in an industrial setting. It is being developed by Google, in collaboration with CERT/SEI, and is used extensively in Google’s internal code base.
Thread safety analysis works very much like a type system for multi-threaded
programs. In addition to declaring the type of data (e.g. int, float,
etc.), the programmer can (optionally) declare how access to that data is
controlled in a multi-threaded environment. For example, if foo is
guarded by the mutex mu, then the analysis will issue a warning whenever
a piece of code reads or writes to foo without first locking mu.
Similarly, if there are particular routines that should only be called by
the GUI thread, then the analysis will warn if other threads call those
routines.
Getting Started¶
#include "mutex.h"
class BankAccount {
private:
Mutex mu;
int balance GUARDED_BY(mu);
void depositImpl(int amount) {
balance += amount; // WARNING! Cannot write balance without locking mu.
}
void withdrawImpl(int amount) REQUIRES(mu) {
balance -= amount; // OK. Caller must have locked mu.
}
public:
void withdraw(int amount) {
mu.Lock();
withdrawImpl(amount); // OK. We've locked mu.
} // WARNING! Failed to unlock mu.
void transferFrom(BankAccount& b, int amount) {
mu.Lock();
b.withdrawImpl(amount); // WARNING! Calling withdrawImpl() requires locking b.mu.
depositImpl(amount); // OK. depositImpl() has no requirements.
mu.Unlock();
}
};
This example demonstrates the basic concepts behind the analysis. The
GUARDED_BY attribute declares that a thread must lock mu before it can
read or write to balance, thus ensuring that the increment and decrement
operations are atomic. Similarly, REQUIRES declares that
the calling thread must lock mu before calling withdrawImpl.
Because the caller is assumed to have locked mu, it is safe to modify
balance within the body of the method.
The depositImpl() method does not have REQUIRES, so the
analysis issues a warning. Thread safety analysis is not inter-procedural, so
caller requirements must be explicitly declared.
There is also a warning in transferFrom(), because although the method
locks this->mu, it does not lock b.mu. The analysis understands
that these are two separate mutexes, in two different objects.
Finally, there is a warning in the withdraw() method, because it fails to
unlock mu. Every lock must have a corresponding unlock, and the analysis
will detect both double locks, and double unlocks. A function is allowed to
acquire a lock without releasing it, (or vice versa), but it must be annotated
as such (using ACQUIRE/RELEASE).
Running The Analysis¶
To run the analysis, simply compile with the -Wthread-safety flag, e.g.
clang -c -Wthread-safety example.cpp
Note that this example assumes the presence of a suitably annotated mutex.h that declares which methods perform locking, unlocking, and so on.
Basic Concepts: Capabilities¶
Thread safety analysis provides a way of protecting resources with capabilities. A resource is either a data member, or a function/method that provides access to some underlying resource. The analysis ensures that the calling thread cannot access the resource (i.e. call the function, or read/write the data) unless it has the capability to do so.
Capabilities are associated with named C++ objects which declare specific
methods to acquire and release the capability. The name of the object serves
to identify the capability. The most common example is a mutex. For example,
if mu is a mutex, then calling mu.Lock() causes the calling thread
to acquire the capability to access data that is protected by mu. Similarly,
calling mu.Unlock() releases that capability.
A thread may hold a capability either exclusively or shared. An exclusive capability can be held by only one thread at a time, while a shared capability can be held by many threads at the same time. This mechanism enforces a multiple-reader, single-writer pattern. Write operations to protected data require exclusive access, while read operations require only shared access.
At any given moment during program execution, a thread holds a specific set of capabilities (e.g. the set of mutexes that it has locked.) These act like keys or tokens that allow the thread to access a given resource. Just like physical security keys, a thread cannot make copy of a capability, nor can it destroy one. A thread can only release a capability to another thread, or acquire one from another thread. The annotations are deliberately agnostic about the exact mechanism used to acquire and release capabilities; it assumes that the underlying implementation (e.g. the Mutex implementation) does the handoff in an appropriate manner.
The set of capabilities that are actually held by a given thread at a given point in program execution is a run-time concept. The static analysis works by calculating an approximation of that set, called the capability environment. The capability environment is calculated for every program point, and describes the set of capabilities that are statically known to be held, or not held, at that particular point. This environment is a conservative approximation of the full set of capabilities that will actually held by a thread at run-time.
Reference Guide¶
The thread safety analysis uses attributes to declare threading constraints. Attributes must be attached to named declarations, such as classes, methods, and data members. Users are strongly advised to define macros for the various attributes; example definitions can be found in mutex.h, below. The following documentation assumes the use of macros.
The attributes only control assumptions made by thread safety analysis and the warnings it issues. They don’t affect generated code or behavior at run-time.
For historical reasons, prior versions of thread safety used macro names that were very lock-centric. These macros have since been renamed to fit a more general capability model. The prior names are still in use, and will be mentioned under the tag previously where appropriate.
GUARDED_BY(c) and PT_GUARDED_BY(c)¶
GUARDED_BY is an attribute on data members, which declares that the data
member is protected by the given capability. Read operations on the data
require shared access, while write operations require exclusive access.
PT_GUARDED_BY is similar, but is intended for use on pointers and smart
pointers. There is no constraint on the data member itself, but the data that
it points to is protected by the given capability.
Mutex mu;
int *p1 GUARDED_BY(mu);
int *p2 PT_GUARDED_BY(mu);
unique_ptr<int> p3 PT_GUARDED_BY(mu);
void test() {
p1 = 0; // Warning!
*p2 = 42; // Warning!
p2 = new int; // OK.
*p3 = 42; // Warning!
p3.reset(new int); // OK.
}
EXCLUDES(…)¶
Previously: LOCKS_EXCLUDED
EXCLUDES is an attribute on functions, methods or function parameters
of reference to SCOPED_CAPABILITY-annotated type, which declares that
the caller must not hold the given capabilities. This annotation is
used to prevent deadlock. Many mutex implementations are not re-entrant, so
deadlock can occur if the function acquires the mutex a second time.
Additionally, if the attribute is on a function parameter, it declares that
the scoped capability manages the specified capabilities in the given order.
Mutex mu;
int a GUARDED_BY(mu);
void clear() EXCLUDES(mu) {
mu.Lock();
a = 0;
mu.Unlock();
}
void reset() {
mu.Lock();
clear(); // Warning! Caller cannot hold 'mu'.
mu.Unlock();
}
void exclude(MutexLocker& scope LOCKS_EXCLUDED(mu)) {
scope.Unlock(); // Warning! mu is not locked.
scope.Lock();
} // Warning! mu still held at the end of function.
void testParameter() {
MutexLocker scope(&mu);
exclude(scope); // Warning, mu is held.
}
Unlike REQUIRES, EXCLUDES is optional. The analysis will not issue a
warning if the attribute is missing, which can lead to false negatives in some
cases. This issue is discussed further in Negative Capabilities.
NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS¶
NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS is an attribute on functions or methods, which
turns off thread safety checking for that method. It provides an escape hatch
for functions which are either (1) deliberately thread-unsafe, or (2) are
thread-safe, but too complicated for the analysis to understand. Reasons for
(2) will be described in the Known Limitations, below.
class Counter {
Mutex mu;
int a GUARDED_BY(mu);
void unsafeIncrement() NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS { a++; }
};
Unlike the other attributes, NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS is not part of the
interface of a function, and should thus be placed on the function definition
(in the .cc or .cpp file) rather than on the function declaration
(in the header).
RETURN_CAPABILITY(c)¶
Previously: LOCK_RETURNED
RETURN_CAPABILITY is an attribute on functions or methods, which declares
that the function returns a reference to the given capability. It is used to
annotate getter methods that return mutexes.
class MyClass {
private:
Mutex mu;
int a GUARDED_BY(mu);
public:
Mutex* getMu() RETURN_CAPABILITY(mu) { return μ }
// analysis knows that getMu() == mu
void clear() REQUIRES(getMu()) { a = 0; }
};
ACQUIRED_BEFORE(…), ACQUIRED_AFTER(…)¶
ACQUIRED_BEFORE and ACQUIRED_AFTER are attributes on member
declarations, specifically declarations of mutexes or other capabilities.
These declarations enforce a particular order in which the mutexes must be
acquired, in order to prevent deadlock.
Mutex m1;
Mutex m2 ACQUIRED_AFTER(m1);
// Alternative declaration
// Mutex m2;
// Mutex m1 ACQUIRED_BEFORE(m2);
void foo() {
m2.Lock();
m1.Lock(); // Warning! m2 must be acquired after m1.
m1.Unlock();
m2.Unlock();
}
CAPABILITY(<string>)¶
Previously: LOCKABLE
CAPABILITY is an attribute on classes, which specifies that objects of the
class can be used as a capability. The string argument specifies the kind of
capability in error messages, e.g. "mutex". See the Container example
given above, or the Mutex class in mutex.h.
SCOPED_CAPABILITY¶
Previously: SCOPED_LOCKABLE
SCOPED_CAPABILITY is an attribute on classes that implement RAII-style
locking, in which a capability is acquired in the constructor, and released in
the destructor. Such classes require special handling because the constructor
and destructor refer to the capability via different names; see the
MutexLocker class in mutex.h, below.
Scoped capabilities are treated as capabilities that are implicitly acquired
on construction and released on destruction. They are associated with
the set of (regular) capabilities named in thread safety attributes on the
constructor or function returning them by value (using C++17 guaranteed copy
elision). Acquire-type attributes on other member functions are treated as
applying to that set of associated capabilities, while RELEASE implies that
a function releases all associated capabilities in whatever mode they’re held.
GUARDED_VAR and PT_GUARDED_VAR¶
Use of these attributes has been deprecated.
Warning flags¶
-Wthread-safety: Umbrella flag which turns on the following:-Wthread-safety-attributes: Semantic checks for thread safety attributes.-Wthread-safety-analysis: The core analysis.-Wthread-safety-precise: Requires that mutex expressions match precisely.This warning can be disabled for code which has a lot of aliases.
-Wthread-safety-reference: Checks when guarded members are passed by reference.
Negative Capabilities are an experimental feature, which are enabled with:
-Wthread-safety-negative: Negative capabilities. Off by default.
When new features and checks are added to the analysis, they can often introduce additional warnings. Those warnings are initially released as beta warnings for a period of time, after which they are migrated into the standard analysis.
-Wthread-safety-beta: New features. Off by default.
Negative Capabilities¶
Thread Safety Analysis is designed to prevent both race conditions and deadlock. The GUARDED_BY and REQUIRES attributes prevent race conditions, by ensuring that a capability is held before reading or writing to guarded data, and the EXCLUDES attribute prevents deadlock, by making sure that a mutex is not held.
However, EXCLUDES is an optional attribute, and does not provide the same safety guarantee as REQUIRES. In particular:
A function which acquires a capability does not have to exclude it.
A function which calls a function that excludes a capability does not have transitively exclude that capability.
As a result, EXCLUDES can easily produce false negatives:
class Foo {
Mutex mu;
void foo() {
mu.Lock();
bar(); // No warning.
baz(); // No warning.
mu.Unlock();
}
void bar() { // No warning. (Should have EXCLUDES(mu)).
mu.Lock();
// ...
mu.Unlock();
}
void baz() {
bif(); // No warning. (Should have EXCLUDES(mu)).
}
void bif() EXCLUDES(mu);
};
Negative requirements are an alternative EXCLUDES that provide
a stronger safety guarantee. A negative requirement uses the REQUIRES
attribute, in conjunction with the ! operator, to indicate that a capability
should not be held.
For example, using REQUIRES(!mu) instead of EXCLUDES(mu) will produce
the appropriate warnings:
class FooNeg {
Mutex mu;
void foo() REQUIRES(!mu) { // foo() now requires !mu.
mu.Lock();
bar();
baz();
mu.Unlock();
}
void bar() {
mu.Lock(); // WARNING! Missing REQUIRES(!mu).
// ...
mu.Unlock();
}
void baz() {
bif(); // WARNING! Missing REQUIRES(!mu).
}
void bif() REQUIRES(!mu);
};
Negative requirements are an experimental feature which is off by default,
because it will produce many warnings in existing code. It can be enabled
by passing -Wthread-safety-negative.
Frequently Asked Questions¶
Should I put attributes in the header file, or in the .cc/.cpp/.cxx file?
(A) Attributes are part of the formal interface of a function, and should always go in the header, where they are visible to anything that includes the header. Attributes in the .cpp file are not visible outside of the immediate translation unit, which leads to false negatives and false positives.
“Mutex is not locked on every path through here?” What does that mean?
See No conditionally held locks., below.
Known Limitations¶
Lexical scope¶
Thread safety attributes contain ordinary C++ expressions, and thus follow ordinary C++ scoping rules. In particular, this means that mutexes and other capabilities must be declared before they can be used in an attribute. Use-before-declaration is okay within a single class, because attributes are parsed at the same time as method bodies. (C++ delays parsing of method bodies until the end of the class.) However, use-before-declaration is not allowed between classes, as illustrated below.
class Foo;
class Bar {
void bar(Foo* f) REQUIRES(f->mu); // Error: mu undeclared.
};
class Foo {
Mutex mu;
};
Private Mutexes¶
Good software engineering practice dictates that mutexes should be private
members, because the locking mechanism used by a thread-safe class is part of
its internal implementation. However, private mutexes can sometimes leak into
the public interface of a class.
Thread safety attributes follow normal C++ access restrictions, so if mu
is a private member of c, then it is an error to write c.mu in an
attribute.
One workaround is to (ab)use the RETURN_CAPABILITY attribute to provide a
public name for a private mutex, without actually exposing the underlying
mutex. For example:
class MyClass {
private:
Mutex mu;
public:
// For thread safety analysis only. Does not need to be defined.
Mutex* getMu() RETURN_CAPABILITY(mu);
void doSomething() REQUIRES(mu);
};
void doSomethingTwice(MyClass& c) REQUIRES(c.getMu()) {
// The analysis thinks that c.getMu() == c.mu
c.doSomething();
c.doSomething();
}
In the above example, doSomethingTwice() is an external routine that
requires c.mu to be locked, which cannot be declared directly because mu
is private. This pattern is discouraged because it
violates encapsulation, but it is sometimes necessary, especially when adding
annotations to an existing code base. The workaround is to define getMu()
as a fake getter method, which is provided only for the benefit of thread
safety analysis.
No conditionally held locks.¶
The analysis must be able to determine whether a lock is held, or not held, at every program point. Thus, sections of code where a lock might be held will generate spurious warnings (false positives). For example:
void foo() {
bool b = needsToLock();
if (b) mu.Lock();
... // Warning! Mutex 'mu' is not held on every path through here.
if (b) mu.Unlock();
}
No checking inside constructors and destructors.¶
The analysis currently does not do any checking inside constructors or
destructors. In other words, every constructor and destructor is treated as
if it was annotated with NO_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS.
The reason for this is that during initialization, only one thread typically
has access to the object which is being initialized, and it is thus safe (and
common practice) to initialize guarded members without acquiring any locks.
The same is true of destructors.
Ideally, the analysis would allow initialization of guarded members inside the object being initialized or destroyed, while still enforcing the usual access restrictions on everything else. However, this is difficult to enforce in practice, because in complex pointer-based data structures, it is hard to determine what data is owned by the enclosing object.
No inlining.¶
Thread safety analysis is strictly intra-procedural, just like ordinary type checking. It relies only on the declared attributes of a function, and will not attempt to inline any method calls. As a result, code such as the following will not work:
template<class T>
class AutoCleanup {
T* object;
void (T::*mp)();
public:
AutoCleanup(T* obj, void (T::*imp)()) : object(obj), mp(imp) { }
~AutoCleanup() { (object->*mp)(); }
};
Mutex mu;
void foo() {
mu.Lock();
AutoCleanup<Mutex>(&mu, &Mutex::Unlock);
// ...
} // Warning, mu is not unlocked.
In this case, the destructor of Autocleanup calls mu.Unlock(), so
the warning is bogus. However,
thread safety analysis cannot see the unlock, because it does not attempt to
inline the destructor. Moreover, there is no way to annotate the destructor,
because the destructor is calling a function that is not statically known.
This pattern is simply not supported.
No alias analysis.¶
The analysis currently does not track pointer aliases. Thus, there can be false positives if two pointers both point to the same mutex.
class MutexUnlocker {
Mutex* mu;
public:
MutexUnlocker(Mutex* m) RELEASE(m) : mu(m) { mu->Unlock(); }
~MutexUnlocker() ACQUIRE(mu) { mu->Lock(); }
};
Mutex mutex;
void test() REQUIRES(mutex) {
{
MutexUnlocker munl(&mutex); // unlocks mutex
doSomeIO();
} // Warning: locks munl.mu
}
The MutexUnlocker class is intended to be the dual of the MutexLocker class, defined in mutex.h. However, it doesn’t work because the analysis doesn’t know that munl.mu == mutex. The SCOPED_CAPABILITY attribute handles aliasing for MutexLocker, but does so only for that particular pattern.
ACQUIRED_BEFORE(…) and ACQUIRED_AFTER(…) support is still experimental.¶
ACQUIRED_BEFORE(…) and ACQUIRED_AFTER(…) are currently being developed under
the -Wthread-safety-beta flag.
mutex.h¶
Thread safety analysis can be used with any threading library, but it does
require that the threading API be wrapped in classes and methods which have the
appropriate annotations. The following code provides mutex.h as an example;
these methods should be filled in to call the appropriate underlying
implementation.
