----------------------------------
fwiw: I see no risk in including this in 0.10 providing there is still time to
do so.
> Severe but difficult to diagnose lock error in qpid::sys::StateMonitor
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-3199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3199
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client
> Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.9
> Reporter: Andrew Stitcher
> Assignee: Andrew Stitcher
> Labels: clang
> Fix For: 0.11
>
>
> The qpid::sys::StateMonitor class has 4 member functions liker this:
> void waitFor(Enum s) { ScopedWait(*this); while (s != state) wait(); }
> However the ScopeWait(*this); is in error, because it creates a temporary
> ScopedWait and then immediately destroys it. Instead of locking this and then
> unlocking it at the end of the function execution.
> What was meant was:
> void waitFor(Enum s) { ScopedWait w(*this); while (s != state) wait(); }
> which creates a local variable w which is destroyed at the end of the
> function execution unlocking this.
> It is possible that the compiler/options we use do not actually exhibit this
> bug. As the correct behaviour may not actually be implemented by all
> compilers.
> If this bug exhibits it might show as StateMonitor::waitFor() never detecting
> the desired state for instance. It is remarkable that this code has been in
> the codebase for 3.5 years and we've not noticed any bug caused by it.
> This bug was detected by the work on QPID-3004: The clang++ compiler detected
> that the value being returned by the constructor was not being used at all.
