- As reported in #3054, the resolve methods in InMemoryPerProcess are not acquiring a lock/mutex to prevent concurrent access to the data structures that may be modified at the same time from other threads, and thus triggering undefined behaviour. - Replace inheritance of std::unordered_multimap data structure with data member to prevent potential clients to use it without acquiring the mutex to protect concurrent access. - Replace pthreads lock with std C++11 std::shared_mutex - Provides exclusive/shared lock access so that multiple readers can access the data at the same time, but only one writer. this is used to favor query performance by allowing more concurrent access to the data until an update needs to be performed. - Simplifies acquisition and disposal of lock/mutex with std::lock_guard, which has RAII semantics. - NOTE: Because std::shared_mutex is not recursive, calls to another function that tries to acquire the lock will fail. Introduced __store & __updateFirst helper methods to workaround this. - Updates to InMemoryPerProcess::resolveFirst - Updated the code to store the expired var in 'expiredVars' to delete them after iterating over the range (and releasing the read lock, as 'delIfExpired' needs to acquire it for exclusive access), as the current call to 'delIfExpired' would invalidate the range triggering undefined behaviour on the following iteration. - Noticed that in commit118e1b3the call to 'delIfExpired' in this function is done using 'it->second.getValue()'' instead of 'it->first', which seems incorrect (based on similar code in other resolveXXX functions). - Updated InMemoryPerProcess::delIfExpired to use 'std::find_if' (with a lambda that matches both the key and the 'isExpired' condition) because the data structure is a multimap. The version introduced in commit118e1b3could find an entry (not necessarily the first, because the map is unordered) where 'isExpired' is 'false' and exit, while another entry could be expired.
