Any tests that rely on shared state that can’t be safely multithreaded needs to be categorized as such. I thought I covered everything in API already, but perhaps not. On Wed, Mar 24, 2021 at 21:38 Ralph Goers wrote: > I believe Matt made the tests in the API run in parallel. I’ve often > wonder

I’m sure that will drive Gary nuts. Let’s call the new method “put2()”. Ralph > On Mar 24, 2021, at 5:18 PM, Remko Popma wrote: > > Instead of overloading the existing method(s), how about adding new methods > with a slightly different name that takes Object parameters? > > On Thu, Mar 25, 20

I believe Matt made the tests in the API run in parallel. I’ve often wondered about that since LogManager is creating contexts meant to be shared across multiple threads. I have no idea how all that will behave in a multi-threaded environment since most unit tests create and destroy LoggerContex

Instead of overloading the existing method(s), how about adding new methods with a slightly different name that takes Object parameters? On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 8:46 AM Carter Kozak wrote: > The method argument type changes are an ABI break, but I recall extending > MapMessage within a project i

The method argument type changes are an ABI break, but I recall extending MapMessage within a project in order to support more expressive types -- that may have relied on dangerously casting the result of getIndexedReadOnlyStringMap to an IndexedStringMap. Including a safer Object-valued MapMessage

I called it StringMap because the keys must be Strings. Admittedly not a great name. :-) Not sure exactly, but there may be cases where this change could cause an issue: putAll(final Map map) -> putAll(final Map map) On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 2:12 AM Ralph Goers wrote: > I looked the other day an

Source compatibility versus binary compatibility. It's source compatible, but not binary compatible. We could be more sure of this if it's filed against release-2.x since that has all the apicmp details. On Wed, 24 Mar 2021 at 12:56, Gary Gregory wrote: > > I thought this had to do with limiting

2021-03-24 Thread Ralph Goers
I looked the other day and wondered the same thing Volkan did. There are no unit tests and the contributor didn’t even indicate that he had tried it. I was initially concerned that the underlying Map wouldn’t support it since it has StringMap in its name. It turns out the values are objects.

Pretty sure that would break binary compatibility since it removes the String method. I think it might be addable but not removed like that. On Wed, 24 Mar 2021 at 02:39, Volkan Yazıcı wrote: > > Hello, > > Adding non-String-typed value support to MapMessage was also something on > my radar too.
