Sean Bridges commented on LOG4J2-702:
-------------------------------------
I think the bookeeping needs to be done outside the LoggerConfig class.
Say you used loggerConfig something like,
{code}
class LoggerConfig {
/**
* returns true if the reference count was incremented
*/
public boolean addRef()...
public void decRef() ...
}
class SomeClassUsingLoggerConfig {
volatile LoggerConfig loggerConfig;
...
while(true) {
LoggerConfig local = loggerConfig;
if(local.addRef()) {
try {
//use local
break;
} finally {
local.decRef();
}
else {
//sleep? some sort of exponential backoff
}
}
}
}
{code}

> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-rc2
> Reporter: Sean Bridges
> Assignee: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0
>
>
> This is in trunk, svn commit 1608156
> LoggerConfig#waitForCompletion uses an AtomicInteger counter to try to detect
> if there are any calls currently executing the log(Event) method, but it does
> not do so in a thread safe manner. Consider two threads A and B, where
> Thread A is calling clearAppenders(), and Thread B is calling log(Event),
> {code}
> Thread A loggerConfig.clearAppenders()
> Thread A loggerConfig.waitForCompletion()
> Thread A counter.get() //returns 0
> Thread A //loggerConfig.waitForCompletion() returns
> Thread B loggerConfig.log(Event)
> Thread B counter.increment()
> Thread A proceeds assuming no log calls are onging, but thread B is in the
> log method
> {code}
> I'm not sure what the requirements are, but if the requirement is to not lose
> logging events, I think you need some sort of synchronization outside of the
> LoggerConfig object.
