<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I agree that there is an issue we need to fix, see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355100</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">but I disagree with the way you tackle the issue. Imo, we should try to find a way to create the parse job without holding the background parser mutex somehow. I.e. instead of fixing N parse job implementations, only fix the background parser - somehow. I'd like to investigate this tomorrow or so. Do you have any time the following days to discuss this? Or do you think it's impossible?</p></pre>

I'm also not sure why the DefinesAndIncludes stuff requires being foreground -- why doesn't it have its own mutex? Then this would all be simpler.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">If you disagree with this solution, let's discuss what we do instead -- just ping me on IRC some evening, at least after 10pm or so I'm usually there.</p></pre>

is called from the background parser with the background parser mutex
locked. If the constructor acquires a DUChain lock (which it did), then
any thread which acquires the DUChain lock first and then the background
parser mutex will cause a deadlock. Other language plugins do this a lot,
esp. qmljs and to some extent also python, by calling
BackgroundParser::isQueued() with the DUChain lock held.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">By doing the initialization in run() with the ForegroundLock held,
we avoid this problem.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This is a severe bug, I hit it quite often and I have read more than one
report from users complaining about freezing as well.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Requires https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128830/ or it will just assert out.</p></pre>
