I have a stripped down simple program with a static variable ('abc.cpp'):
#include <iostream>
int main(int, char**)
{
static const std::string a("123");
std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
I compile it and it works:
> g++ -ggdb abc.cpp -o abc
> ./abc
Hello world
However, if I link in the pthread library....
> g++ -ggdb -lpthread abc.cpp -o abc
> ./abc
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
> gdb abc
(gdb) run

I know it doesn't use threading here, but in the actual non-stripped-down program, it links to a library that does use threading. It feels like it should be okay to link to pthread even though threading is not actually used.
Interestingly, adding the sanitizer makes it not crash (not sure if that's an "undefined"/unstable fix for it or not...).
> g++ -ggdb -fsanitize=undefined -lpthread abc.cpp -o abc
> ./abc
Hello world
Why does this cause a segfault?
Side note: Clang works.
> clang++ -ggdb -lpthread abc.cpp -o abc
> ./abc
Hello world

For what it's worth, my locale:
> locale
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_AU:en
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Setting the default locale results in the same (and the same stack trace too):
> LC_ALL=C ./abc
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
