ThreadSanitizer (aka TSan, not Thread Sanitizer)

Note

This is yet another fork of the project data-race-test (Thread Sanitizer).

The goal of the fork: tried to save documents and Wiki, which are missing from others
WIP

Description

ThreadSanitizer (aka TSan, not Thread Sanitizer) is a data race detector for C/C++ programs.

Race detection tools and more

This page is about ThreadSanitizer version 1.
For the new (and better supported) version go to http://code.google.com/p/thread-sanitizer

This project is about detecting data races (race conditions).
If you are interested in this subject, start browsing wiki pages:

• ThreadSanitizer — a data race detector
• DynamicAnnotations — a race detector API
• RacecheckUnittest — the set of unit tests
• RaceCheckerClass and RaceVerifier — utilities to check if there is indeed a race

Original readme.txt from a parent upstream

This project aims to create a test suite for helgrind (a data race detection tool, part of valgrind, http://www.valgrind.org) and potentially any other data race detector.

Hopefully, everything really useful from this project will eventually be merged into the official helgrind.
