We discovered that using a closure in the
LatencyMetric:newcall exposes a rustc bug where the second call to the closure ends up using the same memory buffer as the previous call to builder. This eventually causes a segfault when it goes to drop the second metrics and discovers it's already been dropped. This incorrect memory aliasing is fixed in rustc 1.98 and newer.To recreate the panic in the test add
to Cargo.toml and run
Need to run 1.96 rustc or lower, but need the nightly build of cargo to include the
-Z panic-abort-testsflag.In our production we confirmed the panic no longer happens with the removal of the closure.
