What did you do?

I am creating a go library for Android that I use in React Native. The go library uses CGO (and has a as a dependency a static library that is built against android ndk llvm libc++ ), and also uses gRPC for communication with the server (However in the gRPC package I do not rely on TLS - I have a custom connection protocol, nor anywhere in the library I rely on TLS)

CC_FOR_TARGET=/home/marius/work/android-ndk-r26b/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-android34-clang gomobile bind -target android/amd64 -androidapi 34 -o enlockd.aar ./mobile/

And then I load the .aar archive into a react native project in the respective android project, and created the library data bindings in Kotlin. The project compiles.

What did you see happen?

My Android Kotlin binding that loads the library compiles and I can build it from react native, but when loading it into the Android emulator (Pixel 3a API 34 x86_64) I get the following Crash:

What did you expect to see?

I was expecting for the react native program to not crash.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I have also tried with go version 1.23.0, the exact same problem.

I have went through all the above links and they do not solve this problem.
The NDK build tools and the CC must be the above ones due to React Native version 0.75.2.

The exact same crash error messages occurs in this Issue: mjansson/rpmalloc#332
For my project I think it comes from a different symbol, not the TLS_MODEL

I have checked the symbols from the libgojni.so with nm -j and the following ones mention TLS

I suspect (without proof or good reasoning) it might be from __tls_get_addr() (I might have read a mention in an issue which I can't find),
or crypto/tls.init (I might have read a mention in an issue of an init function which I can't find),
or x_cgo_inittls (based on one of the above metioned links)

In the C library I link with CGO, I do not have any mentions of TLS symbols, nor dependencies on it.

I use this imports that might produce some of the above symbols in my go project:

"crypto/aes"
"crypto/cipher"
"crypto/rand"

marius-enlock · 2024-09-02T09:34:26Z

I have checked the crypto library, and the grpc library, and it doesn't seem to use CGO to load any TLS library, I think the issue is not from there.

ldd libgojni.so

	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd5cd7a000)
	liblog.so => not found
	libandroid.so => not found
	libc++_shared.so => not found

I checked liblog and libandroid with readelf -a and there are no TLS symbols,
I suspect the culprit is libc++_shared.so as there are the TLS symbols
The exact library is this one:

android-ndk-r26b/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-android/libc++_shared.so

Where android-ndk-r26b is extracted from the linux archive from here: https://github.com/android/ndk/releases/tag/r26b

I think the issue might originate from here:
android/ndk#1679: Clang will now automatically enable ELF TLS for
minSdkVersion 29 or higher.

marius-enlock · 2024-09-04T09:47:00Z

In the file using CGO, I have tried passing the following flags:

-Wl,-plugin-opt=-emulated-tls=0

And in my gomobile bind command this flags:

 CGO_CFLAGS="-fno-emulated-tls"

And it doesn't solve the issue, it is the same crash and error.

xaionaro · 2024-10-13T02:39:04Z

I don't know if this is of any help, but I've also stumbled upon basically the exact same error message (but as user of fyne), and this is the difference I see between a working APK and non-working APK:

Hypothesis

It seems like STATIC_TLS breaks the thing. I also do not have libdl.so and libc.so in the broken APK, but it feels like a separate problem.

UPDATE

Yes. I've managed to get rid of all those static library dependencies which were introducing the STATIC_TLS (which were only 2 of dozens static libs) and manually added -ldl -lc and now it runs in my case.
Though, this is obviously not a solution to the problem; just may be somebody will find this as an useful hint.
