[jira] Created: (IO-161) FileCleaningTrackerTestCase hangs

FileCleaningTrackerTestCase hangs
---------------------------------

                 Key: IO-161
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-161
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 1.4
         Environment: Linux sliver.usr.dsi.unimi.it 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 15:12:59 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
java version "1.5.0_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_10-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

            Reporter: Sebastiano Vigna


The following code in FileCleaningTrackerTestCase never exits, hanging the whole compilation/testing process:

    private void waitUntilTrackCount() {
        while (theInstance.getTrackCount() != 0) {
            int total = 0;
            while (theInstance.getTrackCount() != 0) {
                byte[] b = new byte[1024 * 1024];
                b[0] = (byte) System.currentTimeMillis();
                total = total + b[0];
                System.gc();
            }
        }
    }

It is clear that in theory this code might loop forever, as the allocation of the byte arrays might never unleash a garbage collection complete enough to deallocate all marker objects, so to bring the track count to zero. Believe me, it's not only theory :).

[jira] Resolved: (IO-161) FileCleaningTrackerTestCase hangs

Posted by "Niall Pemberton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-161?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Niall Pemberton resolved IO-161.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.5)
                   2.0
         Assignee: Niall Pemberton

I have copied the code from BeanUtils MemoryLeakTestCase to try and force garbage collection. Hopefully that will be more successful in ytour environment, but if not then it should now throw an exception rather than hanging
