High CPU usage at get_local_thread_context, any sugesstions to find out the problem?

[tqolf]

servel threads CPU usage reached 100% at get_local_thread_context, but no log outputs. all log is >=Debug, and log level is set to Debug too.

it looks like there is dead loop, but no ideas to find it out currently. and no other prominent methods

I am not sure i understand the issue, do you mean it just had high usage for a while or got stuck ? It does use a spinlock underneath when adding a new thread for the first time

quill/include/quill/core/ThreadContextManager.h

Line 254 in 25389ad

_new_thread_context_flag.store(true, std::memory_order_release);

Also it only runs once on the first log statement for the thread issuing it and caches the result

quill/include/quill/Logger.h

Line 123 in 25389ad

thread_context = detail::get_local_thread_context<frontend_options_t>();

you can reduce the time it takes by calling this each time when you spawn a new thread from within the new thread

quill/include/quill/Frontend.h
