http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36541 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-09-08 15:20 ------- (In reply to comment #36) > One for read and one for write, while > the writer is modifying the map it corrupted the pointers the reader is using > to > traverse the data structures and thus enters an infinite loop Sorry to reply to my own post, but my use of the word "corrupted" is a bad choice. In the normal operation of a write modification to the map the internal data structures are altered into a temporary inconsitant state. This inconsitancy is part of the normal working of the write operation. When the write operation returns to the application the map integrity is always consistant. The basic contract is true of all object design, unless otherwise stated to be thread safe. Which we all agree HashMap is not. If the read operations happens to bump into this moment of temporary inconsistacy the infinite loop can occur. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
