<br>Hi Nischai,
<br>
<br>I see 3 possibilities:
<br>1. Either the code is somehow ends up being non-instrumented, or
<br>2. tsan does not consider what it sees a data race, or
<br>3. the data race is masked by unrelated synchronization.
<br>
<br>For 1 you can check that the resulting code in fact contains __tsan_* callbacks.
<br>For 2 and 3 you can rebuilt tsan runtime with TSAN_DEBUG_OUTPUT=2
<br>define, then it will print everything it sees (memory accesses and
<br>synchronization). This output will allow us to figure out why it does
<br>not report a race.
