            Bug ID: 32840
           Summary: NONDETERMINIZM: It seems, ThreadSanitizer does not
                    understand OpenMP's critical section in C++
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

Example one: (good)

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
#ifdef _OPENMP
#pragma omp parallel num_threads(2)
#endif
#ifdef _OPENMP
#pragma omp critical(io)
#endif
  {
    printf("thread\n");
  }

  return 0;
}

$ clang-5.0 openmp-critical.c -fsanitize=thread
$ ./a.out 
thread

As you can see, TSan does not complain, and there were only one print.
Let's enable OpenMP.

$ clang-5.0 openmp-critical.c -fsanitize=thread -fopenmp
$ ./a.out 
thread
thread

As you can see, TSan does not complain, and there were two prints.
Now, let's check C++.

Example two (bad):

#include <cstdio>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
#ifdef _OPENMP
#pragma omp parallel num_threads(2)
#endif
#ifdef _OPENMP
#pragma omp critical(io)
#endif
  {
    std::cout << "thread\n";
  }

  return 0;
}

$ clang++-5.0 openmp-critical.cpp -fsanitize=thread 
$ ./a.out 
thread

Again all fine. Let's enable OpenMP.

$ clang++-5.0 openmp-critical.cpp -fsanitize=thread -fopenmp
$ ./a.out

ThreadSanitizer: reported 1 warnings

I'd expect that it should not complain. 

And now the weirdest part: it only happens if the system is not in idle, i.e.
if there are some other computational/compilation processes running!
