Description

When the saxon:thread attribute is set for xsl:for-each in saxon-ee-12.4 (enterprise edition), NullPointException and ClassCastException occasionally occur in multi-thread scenarios.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.saxon.expr.XPathContextMajor.getTargetComponent(XPathContextMajor.java:684) at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.ApplyTemplates.getTargetMode(ApplyTemplates.java:303) at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.ApplyTemplates$ApplyTemplatesElaborator.lambda$elaborateForPush$1(ApplyTemplates.java:613) at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.Block$BlockElaborator.lambda$elaborateForPush$4(Block.java:895) at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.TemplateRule.applyLeavingTail(TemplateRule.java:376)

or

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: net.sf.saxon.expr.Component cannot be cast to net.sf.saxon.expr.Component$M at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.ApplyTemplates.getTargetMode(ApplyTemplates.java:303) at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.ApplyTemplates$ApplyTemplatesElaborator.lambda$elaborateForPush$1(ApplyTemplates.java:613) at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.Block$BlockElaborator.lambda$elaborateForPush$4(Block.java:895) at net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.TemplateRule.applyLeavingTail(TemplateRule.java:376)

Cause: processComponentReference method of net.sf.saxon.expr.instruct.Actor

int slot = bindings.size();
ComponentBinding cb = new ComponentBinding(name, target);
bindings.add(cb);
invocation.setBindingSlot(slot);

The operation of obtaining the slot and adding the slot to the bindings is not an atomic operation. In the multi-thread scenario, the positions of the slot and bindings may be mismatched or overwritten.

Solution (s): Ensure that the slot obtaining and adding operations are atomic and the performance in multi-thread scenarios is ensured.:

Thanks for reporting it, and especially for digging so deeply into the code to find the cause.

Your proposed solution is in fact exactly the change that we made in response to bug #6348 (after a very tortuous process of debugging - so congratulations on finding it). So I'm going to close this as a duplicate.

We're hoping to get a 12.5 maintenance release out very soon, which will include this patch.
