Ensure thread can be re-initialized after a fatal exception #2

Closed haxiomic closed 3 years ago

haxiomic commented 3 years ago

When exception is handled, we should be at a point that we can safely run start thread again immediately (including from the exception handler)

maybe data race on thread management vars
threadInitialized is not set to false

haxiomic commented 3 years ago

Use atomic for threadInitialized, remove mutex
Use thread data field to pass back boot exception string

haxiomic commented 3 years ago

Re-initialization disabled because we cannot fully clear static variable state from haxe, so next boot may behave differently (and in practise much of the haxe std library relies on statics)
