@cperkinsintel & @nrspruit - I think we need to reopen this can of worms. Though it is not immediately obvious, this is actually affecting sycl/test-e2e/syclcompat/kernel/kernel_win.cpp and sycl/unittests/Extensions/RootGroup.cpp. They started failing for the changes in #18949 and I narrowed the failures down to the cause described in this PR. |
After intel#17869, Windows will not unload images during the runtime of the program. However, this means that shared libraries that are dynamically loaded and unloaded will leave dangling pointers to their images. If somehow these images get picked up, e.g. if another library is loaded with overlapping symbols, the runtime may try to dereference the dangling device image pointers. This commit reenables Windows unloading with the caveat that once the global handler is dead the runtime assumes that shutdown has begun. Signed-off-by: Larsen, Steffen <[email protected]>
