[jira] [Updated] (LOGCXX-532) Static objects and deleting

["Robert Middleton (Jira)" <lo...@logging.apache.org>]

Robert Middleton updated LOGCXX-532:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
As seen in LOGCXX-430 and LOGCXX-322, making sure that when an application terminates earlier than expected we don't crash is rather hard to do.

I came across this solution when researching this problem:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/470545/624483

My thought is that we create something like a log4cxx::Globals class, which contains a smart pointer to everything that must be kept alive before the library can safely be unloaded.  In each thread, you would do something like:

{{GlobalsPtr globals = log4cxx::globals;}}
thus ensuring that the destructor can't run before all of the threads are stopped.  This would be up to the user of the library.
