    Doesn't musl have the same issue? https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/34726#issuecomment...

    I also wonder about OSX's libc. Newer versions seem to have some sort of locking https://github.com/apple-open-source-mirror/Libc/blob/master...

    but older versions (from 10.9) don't have any lockign: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/Libc/blob/Libc-99...

    All three are probably using glibc, which does that, yes. On Darwin Apple’s libc prints “(null)”: https://github.com/apple-open-source-mirror/Libc/blob/5e566b.... I should also note that passing a non-null pointer to printf is the only correct way to use it ;)
