I ran a test code with ThreadSanitizer, it throws a race condition in the block of xpcconnectionseteventhandler even I set a sync queue to the connection.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xpc/1448786-xpc_connection_set_target_queue?language=objc:
"the XPC runtime guarantees that, when the target queue is a serial queue, the event handler block will execute synchronously with respect to other blocks submitted to that same queue. When the target queue is a concurrent queue, the event handler block may run concurrently with other blocks submitted to that queue, but it will never run concurrently with other invocations of itself for the same connection"
looks like there should have no race condition according to the above description, but why I encounter the race condition issue reported by ThreadSanitizer?
Does the block of xpcconnectionseteventhandler need sync to avoid race condition?
Code Block xpc_connection_set_event_handler(conn, ^(xpc_object_t event) { xpc_type_t type = xpc_get_type(event); if (xpc_get_type(event) == XPC_TYPE_DICTIONARY) { // race condition here // WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: data race // ... } else { if (event == XPC_ERROR_CONNECTION_INVALID) { // Error indicates the peer has closed the connection. // Tear down any associated data structures. } else { // Error indicates that service will terminate soon. // Flush all buffers, finish all work, etc. } xpc_release(peer); } });
