Since the MQTT Session Manager is using
@synchronized(self.effectiveSubscriptions)
to coordinate updates to the subscriptions but in each case is also replacing theself.effectiveSubscriptions
object rather than updating it in place a window exists where two threads may obtain locks on different objects despite the fact that both of them are attempting to manipulate the same reference.In our case, this appears to be causing
BAD_ACCESS
crashes as multiple threads attempt to deallocate the same object.Replacing the
@synchronized
with an explicit use of a separateNSLock
object which is not replaced appears to prevent those crashes.
