- timing state (timing_blocks, head, tail) is static in header, creating one instance per translation unit - xassert_timing_start() in one source file cannot match xassert_timing_end() in another - duplicated state memory across files - mutable shared state is unsynchronized, so concurrent/threaded or multi-core usage can produce incorrect results - expected fix direction: - Move timing state out of the public header into a single implementation unit (.c/.xc) so there is one shared instance. - Guard all timing state mutations/lookups (timing_blocks, head, tail) with the same lock.
