[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52996] calling audiodevinfo() results in a segfault on exit when JACK sound server is running

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #52996 (project octave):

I have a work in progress, diff attached.

jwe - would you mind taking a look at this? There are two changes, first
adding a static sentry object to make sure PortAudio is only initialized once,
and uninitialized at unload or exit. That part is simple and works.

The second change is to mlock whichever function calls Pa_Initialize the first
time, to avoid bad things happening with something like


>> p = audioplayer (...);
>> clear functions
>> play (p)
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
Segmentation fault


But I have no known point at which I can call munlock. Should we add object
tracking so that we can safely munlock and allow these functions to be
unloaded if all corresponding audio objects have been cleared?
