2.4.1 Check Whether or Not the Data Race is a False Positive

A false positive data-race is a data-race that is reported by the Thread Analyzer, but has actually not occurred. The Thread Analyzer tries to reduce the number of false positives reported. However, there are cases where the tool is not able to do a precise job and may report false positive data-races.

You can ignore a false-positive data-race because it is not a genuine data-race and, therefore, does not affect the behavior of the program.

See 2.5 False Positives for some examples of false positive data-races. For information on how to remove false positive data-races from the report, see A.1 The Thread-Analyzer's User-APIs.
