const THREAD_INTERRUPT_STATE: LocalKey<UnsafeCell<ThreadInterruptState>>;Expand description
Thread-local thread state. The book-keeping in a RefCell isn’t
guaranteed to be signal-handler-safe, so we use an UnsafeCell
instead. The cell is only accessed in leaf functions, so it
should be safe.
The only actually unsafe access happens if a signal comes in
while another function is modifying the cell; In this case,
[should_interrupt_now] will return junk results. This is
still safe because:
should_interrupt_nowonly atomically accesses data from this cell- junk results shouldn’t matter if we’re not running WASM code
