Follow-up Comment #1, bug #46956 (project gnustep): (sorry for the formatting; don't know how to get bugzilla to preserve indentation)
Part, but not all, of the problem is that parsingArguments is being protected by the _lock ivar, but because parsingArguments is file static, and you can have multiple NSUserDefaults objects in play, that's not sufficient. You need to use classLock here. But you can still end up with the second thread trying to call _createArgumentDictionary getting a nil arguments dictionary. Since my applications don't use that, I stopped there. I'll shortly be attaching a patch that fixes that, and that adds a sleep-and-retry loop for the case where some thread needs the standardUserDefaults but another thread is still in the process of creating it. We probably need a similar sleep-and-retry loop for _createArgumentDictionary but I didn't go that far because, as I said, I don't use it. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46956> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list Bug-gnustep@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
