Does log4net start its own thread ?

[Thibaut Barrère <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

while trying to put a name on all (numerous) threads in an application
for better diagnostic, I realized that log4net appears to start its
own thread (for all internal work I suppose). I could not find any
trace of that in the documentation / faq / lists, so I maybe wrong
(code below).

Does log4net start a thread on the first LogManager.GetLogger call ?

If it is, it appears that its Name property is not set. This is not
critical but would be helpful to have it named "Log4Net" and easy to
do. What do you think ?


best regards
