Volkan Yazici commented on LOG4J2-3017: --------------------------------------- I think I have managed to prove that this issue has nothing to do with Log4j, but the byte code instrumentation performed by Groovy: {code:groovy} package com.vlkan.sandbox.groovy import org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test class Log4jGroovyTest { private static final boolean THREAD_DUMP_ENABLED = true private static final class Item { private int toStringInvocationCount = 0; @Override synchronized String toString() { if (THREAD_DUMP_ENABLED) { Thread.dumpStack() System.err.println() } toStringInvocationCount++ return "item" } } // succeeds @Test void test_inline_String() { Item item = new Item() format("number: " + item) Assertions.assertEquals(1, item.toStringInvocationCount) } // succeeds @Test void test_GString_assigned_to_String() { Item item = new Item() String message = "number: ${item}" format(message) Assertions.assertEquals(1, item.toStringInvocationCount) } // fails @Test void test_GString_assigned_to_GString() { Item item = new Item() GString message = "number: ${item}" format(message) Assertions.assertEquals(1, item.toStringInvocationCount) } // fails @Test void test_inline_GString() { Item item = new Item() format("number: ${item}") Assertions.assertEquals(1, item.toStringInvocationCount) } private static void format(CharSequence message) { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder() builder.append(message) } } {code} I am closing the ticket. [~cliviu], I think it is wise to move the discussion to the Groovy project issue tracker. > Groovy logging of GString with $ notation is very slow > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LOG4J2-3017 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3017 > Project: Log4j 2 > Issue Type: Question > Reporter: Liviu Carausu > Priority: Major > Attachments: SomeClass.groovy, TestLogging.groovy > > > > Logging of GString is very slow. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
