Fixes deepseek-ai#315 The gAllocatorInited boolean flag had a race condition where: - Multiple threads could see gAllocatorInited=false simultaneously - Memory ordering issues could cause threads to see gAllocatorInited=true before gAllocator was fully initialized The fix removes the redundant flag and relies solely on std::call_once, which already provides thread-safe initialization with proper memory ordering guarantees and an efficient fast-path after first execution. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
gAllocatorInitedflag that caused a race conditionstd::call_oncewhich provides proper thread-safety guaranteesProblem
The original code had a race condition in
GlobalMemoryAllocator.cc:Issues:
gAllocatorInitedis a plainbool, not atomic - no synchronizationgAllocatorInited = truecan execute beforestd::call_oncefully completesgAllocatorInited = truewhilegAllocatoris still uninitializedSolution
Remove the redundant flag and rely solely on
std::call_once:Why this works:
std::call_onceprovides full happens-before guarantees (C++11 standard)call_oncebecomes a fast single atomic load (efficient fast-path)Test plan
