I see that it is registered as a wontfix bug
As far as I can see bug 6855216 is in state "1-Dispatched" whatever that means.
I have not followed this closely, but is that an option?
Your request for fair locking in appenders is not unreasonable. However, it will cause a measurable slow down in a large number of cases. It also feels like fixing the JVM. So, I need more evidence before going down the path of fair locking.
If the conclusion is that "it depends" how to do this right, perhaps it should be configurable?
FileAppender (and co) in svn trunk has much finer grain locking. I am thus hoping that this problem will be "transparently" solved in logback 0.9.16 when it is released. -- Ceki Gülcü Logback: The reliable, generic, fast and flexible logging framework for Java. http://logback.qos.ch
