Paul King closed GROOVY-8230. ----------------------------- > Deadlock in GroovyClassLoader > ----------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-8230 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8230 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.5.0-beta-1 > Reporter: Joel Bredeson > Assignee: John Wagenleitner > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.5.0-beta-2 > > 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 > (This happens when requesting the entry getClassCacheEntry). If the timing > between the two threads is unlucky a deadlock can occur. > Relevant stack trace attached. > Groovy: 2.4.10 groovy-all-2.4.10-indy.jar > Java: JRE 8u73_64 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
