-------------------------------------
Summary: Deadlock in GroovyClassLoader
Key: GROOVY-8230
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8230
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.4.10
Reporter: Joel Bredeson
Attachments: GroovyClassLoaderDeadlock.txt
The GroovyClassLoader.clearCache() method can deadlock when another thread is
creating a new instance of a class. The clearCache() method locks the
classCache, then when removing the class through the InvokerHelper locks the
ClassInfo object. When a new instance is created that instance can lock the
ClassInfo object first, then later request the lock for the classCache when
requesting the entry (getClassCacheEntry). If the timing is between the two
threads is unlucky a deadlock can occur.
Relevant stack trace attached.
