Adding 2 more thread dumps from another freeze. Again after switching branches and updating from git.

Thanks for the report. I believe that this is fixed in our development branch, and also in the branch that will become Ladybug Feature Drop Beta. If you could verify that this doesn't happen in a nightly build (from

Sorry, I have not tried it on the nightly build, but since then I updated to Meerkat and I have not seen the freeze afterwards.
Description
AutoLock
appears to be a custom implementation ofstd::unique_lock/lock_guard
. It does, however, a method namedisLocked()
. There is only one use of the method at the moment:I believe, that has room for improvement. Firstly, even if we checked
isLock()
in general, asisLock()
is not thread-safe, there is no guarantee (in general) that the same thread can then lock it. It is only useful when there is only one thread that locks/unlocks the givenAutoLock
object and the thread wants know whether thelock
is acquired or not by itself. I don't think that's useful. I think the method being public, it has a good chance to confuse external developers.My belief is that the
AutoLock
should be simply replaced withstd::unique_lock
and/orstd::lock_guard
, as many uses of the class do not calllock
orunlock
. And,isLocked()
should be removed. The only call site should be implemented without that.Aside from all mentioned above, I am trying to compile the code with
--enable-thread-safety-checks
, and the first code that blocked the compilation on Linux was the use ofisLocked()
.
