While debugging thread-modular witness validation, I implemented a special case for
callocwith count 1, such that it avoids an intermediate array, which we cannot output invariants for. (Also committed here to demonstrate the issue.)Surprisingly, this broke some zstd thread pool tests since additional races appeared. This PR contains further minimizations of the zstd thread pool example. Somehow the unsoundness appears to be that if there's an extra array domain in between, then accesses from
freedisappear altogether.
