remove lock guards(if trace.enabled() .. ) where possible --------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-1429 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1429 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Mircea Markus Assignee: Manik Surtani Citing from David Lloyd's email: <snip> If you're using the jboss-logging API, and your log statement does not do any interpolation, then it is just as fast to do any of the following (with no if): log.trace("blah"); log.tracef("the %s happened to %s", foo, bar); log.tracev("the {0} happened to {1}", foo, bar); In the case where trace logging is disabled, these are exactly as efficient as the if (log.isTraceEnabled()) variants. In the case where it is enabled, it is marginally more efficient (though the trace log itself is substantially more expensive of course). Overall I'd avoid the "if" forms unless you're doing complex interpolation: log.trace("Foo " + bar + " baz " + zap); log.tracef("the %s happened to %s", fooMethod().barMethod(), bar); ...both of which incur the expense of the expression resolution even if the log message is ultimately discarded. </snip> This JIRA is about: 1. removing all the "if (trace)" statements from the code (where possible, see below) 2. making sure that this is a documented policy and people are aware of it -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
