Description
I tried this code:
https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/rust-wasi-thread-local-stuck
use std::cell::RefCell;
use std::collections::HashMap;
thread_local! {
static THREAD_LOCAL_DATA: RefCell<HashMap<u32, u32>> = RefCell::new(HashMap::new());
}
#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn set_thread_local_data(key: u32, value: u32) {
THREAD_LOCAL_DATA.with(|data| {
data.borrow_mut().insert(key, value);
});
}
I expected to see this happen: Program run and exit normally
Instead, this happened: hang forever
(edit): See https://github.com/toyobayashi/emnapi/issues/136#issuecomment-2677400889 for where and why

Background
The NAPI-RS project enables the compilation of Rust projects to the wasm32-wasip1-threads target, allowing them to run in Node.js. However, since Node.js doesn’t natively support WASI threads, we simulate a threaded environment using emnapi. This setup worked effectively until version 1.85.0. Many projects, such as rolldown and rspack, have been successfully compiled to WebAssembly targets to run seamlessly on platforms like StackBlitz and in web browsers.

Research direction
Start with the linked rust-wasi-thread-local-stuck reproducer and the thread_local! entry point, running it for wasm32-wasip1-threads under Rust 1.85.0 in Node.js. Trace the TLS destructor behavior and verify that the program exits normally rather than hanging forever.
