cuopt::default_logger() is one process-wide instance, defined in logger.cpp and shared by every solver. Splitting libcuopt into component libraries (#1622) means routing and mathopt should log independently, and nothing should have to exist purely to host that state.

Change

The logger is header-only and hidden. Hidden visibility is what does the separating, and it is not optional:

6: 000000000000401c  4 OBJECT  UNIQUE DEFAULT  23 _ZZN4demo7counterEvE1c

The static local of an inline function is emitted as STB_GNU_UNIQUE, which glibc merges across the whole process regardless of RTLD_LOCAL -- so a header-only logger left at default visibility is still one shared instance, both when linked and when dlopened the way load.py does it. Marking the namespace CUOPT_EXPORT would silently undo this PR.

Configuring a logger you cannot reach

Callers outside the libraries have their own logger and cannot touch a library's. Each component therefore exports a configure entry point, the only logging symbols that cross a boundary:

$ nm -DC libcuopt.so | grep logging
T cuopt::mathematical_optimization::configure_logging(...)
T cuopt::mathematical_optimization::reset_logging()
T cuopt::routing::configure_logging(...)
T cuopt::routing::reset_logging()

That gives two types with distinct jobs:

  • init_logger_t(file, console) -- configures the logger of whichever image constructs it. Library code already used it this way, so pdlp/solve.cu, mip_heuristics/solve.cu and grpc/client/solve_remote.cpp each configure their own library's logger with no change.
  • init_component_logger_t(file, console, target = mathopt) -- reaches a chosen library from outside. It defaults to mathopt because every external caller today is LP or MILP, so all eight existing sites (CLI x2, dual_simplex tests x6) keep their meaning and routing is opted into explicitly. The routing branch sits behind CUOPT_HAS_ROUTING, since SKIP_ROUTING_BUILD means the symbol may not exist.

Two fixes needed to keep one log file working

Both showed up running cuopt_cli, not reading the code.

  • The exported entry point takes the same ref-count guard init_logger_t takes. Without it the MIP solve path built its own init_logger_t mid-run and, with truncate set, cleared the file the CLI had already written to.
  • File sinks always open in append mode, with a single explicit truncate up front. A non-appending sink writes from offset 0 and silently overwrites what another logger has appended.

Routing's errors were being dropped

routing::solve logs through CUOPT_LOG_ERROR in its catch blocks, but routing never constructed an init_logger_t. The default sink is a buffer that is only drained when one is constructed, so those errors went nowhere. Routing now initialises its own logger from get_error_logging_mode(). Pre-existing bug, fixed here because per-library logging forces routing to own its configuration.

Testing

cuopt_cli writes both its own and the solver's messages to one file -- 67 lines, against 62 when the CLI's were being silently overwritten -- and two consecutive runs both give 67, so truncation still works and nothing leaks across runs.

For ctest I built a baseline by stashing onto clean main and rebuilding: identical results, same 10 failing suites and same 908 gtest failures, 92% both. Those failures are environmental in my setup (CUDA stream-capture errors, a null-offsets validation), not from this change.

Follow-ups

Routing has no log_file / log_to_console in solver_settings_t, only set_error_logging_mode, so a library caller cannot yet send routing's log to a file the way the LP settings allow. Worth adding in the same shape as the seed in #1717.

The logger was a single process-wide instance hosted in one compiled
translation unit, so every solver library shared it. Splitting libcuopt
into components means routing and mathopt should log independently, and
nothing should have to exist purely to host the state.

The logger is now header-only and, crucially, hidden. Hidden visibility
is what does the separating: the static local of an inline function is
emitted as an STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbol, which glibc merges across the whole
process regardless of RTLD_LOCAL, so a header-only logger with default
visibility would still have been one shared instance.

Callers outside the libraries cannot reach a hidden logger, so each
component exports a configure entry point. `init_logger_t` keeps its
meaning -- configure the logger of whichever image constructs it, which
is what the pdlp, mip and grpc solve paths already want -- and the new
`init_component_logger_t` reaches a chosen library from outside. It
defaults to mathopt, so all eight existing external call sites keep
working unchanged, and routing is opted into explicitly.

Two things had to change to make one log file survive several loggers:

- The exported entry point now takes the same ref-count guard that
  `init_logger_t` takes. Without it the MIP solve path reconfigured the
  logger mid-run and, with truncate set, cleared a file the caller had
  already written to.
- File sinks always open in append mode, with a single explicit truncate
  up front. A non-appending sink writes from offset 0 and silently
  overwrites what another logger has appended.

routing::solve now initialises its own logger from the settings. Routing
never constructed one, so its CUOPT_LOG_ERROR calls went into a buffer
that nothing drained and were lost.

Verified: libcuopt.so exports the four entry points and none of the
logger state; cuopt_cli writes both its own and the solver's messages to
one file and still truncates between runs. ctest failures are identical
to clean main in this environment (10 suites, 908 gtest failures, both).

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fdf65

This change separates component logger state and adds per-library configuration, but the current implementation still permits unbounded buffering when logging is never configured and unsynchronized sink changes during concurrent logging. These runtime risks need owner acceptance or follow-up before the PR is fully merge-ready.

43-86: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the buffer and make its data members private.

log_buffer grows without a limit until apply_logger_config drains it. A process that never configures a logger keeps every message in memory. The default sink is the buffer callback, so this is the default state for any library user that does not construct an init_logger_t or call configure_logging. Add a cap that drops or overwrites the oldest entries.

messages and mutex are public at Line 78 and Line 79. All access already goes through the member functions.

   {
     std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex);
     std::vector<buffered_entry> out;

     return out;
   }
 
+ private:

configure_logging_impl released the previous guard *after* applying the
new configuration. ~logger_config_guard calls reset_default_logger(), so
a second configure ran that reset on top of the sinks it had just
installed and silently sent everything back to the buffer.

CUOPT_HAS_ROUTING was only on cuopt_objs. $<TARGET_OBJECTS:...> does not
carry INTERFACE properties -- the tree already documents this where it
restores CUOPT_LOG_ACTIVE_LEVEL on cuopt and cuopt_static -- and
cuopt_cli and the tests link those, not cuopt_objs. log_target_t::routing
compiled to a no-op for every external caller.

Also: external configuration is now depth-counted, so overlapping
init_component_logger_t instances behave like overlapping init_logger_t
instances and an inner destructor no longer tears down the outer
configuration. Requesting routing when SKIP_ROUTING_BUILD is set now
throws instead of silently dropping every message. default_sink's
docstring described a stderr/CUOPT_DEBUG_LOG_FILE behaviour it has not
had; it returns the buffer callback.

LOGGER_TEST covers the boundary, including regressions for the first two
bugs above.

external_config_guard()'s static could be constructed before
default_logger()'s, so at process exit the guard was destroyed after the
logger and ~logger_config_guard called reset_default_logger() on a
destroyed object. That aborted with "malloc_consolidate(): unaligned
fastbin chunk detected" in any process that configured logging through
the exported entry point without unwinding it first. Touch the logger
inside external_config_guard() so its static is constructed first, and
therefore destroyed last.

The tests were also wrong. init_component_logger_t configures the logger
inside libcuopt, but CUOPT_LOG_* in the test TU reaches the test
binary's own hidden logger, so they configured one logger and asserted
on another. They now drive configure_logging_impl in the image that does
the logging, and check the component entry point through the one thing
observable from outside it: its effect on a shared file.

apply_logger_config can throw -- basic_file_sink_mt does when the log
file cannot be opened -- and the depth counter had already been
incremented by then. The throw propagates out of init_component_logger_t's
constructor, so its destructor never runs to balance it, leaving the depth
stuck above zero. Every later configure then looks nested and silently
does nothing, so one unwritable log file kills logging for the rest of the
process.

Restore the counter and reset the logger before rethrowing.

rapidsai rapids-logger logger.hpp sinks() thread safety source

💡 Result:

The rapids-logger library is a wrapper built on top of spdlog [1][2][3]. Because rapids-logger exposes spdlog-like functionality [1], the thread safety characteristics of its logger operations are inherited from spdlog [4][5][6]. Regarding the sinks() function, it returns a reference to the underlying std::vector of sinks [5][6]. In spdlog (and consequently in loggers wrapped by rapids-logger), this vector is not protected by a mutex to avoid performance impacts [5]. Therefore, accessing or modifying the sinks vector (e.g., calling push_back or pop_back to add or remove sinks) concurrently from multiple threads is NOT thread-safe [4][5]. When using rapids-logger or spdlog, you should ensure that any modifications to the sinks collection are synchronized externally if multiple threads might access the logger simultaneously [4][5]. Additionally, while individual logging calls to a thread-safe logger (typically initialized with an _mt suffix in spdlog) are thread-safe, administrative functions like modifying the sinks configuration are not [4][5].

Synchronize sink replacement with log calls.

The generated CUOPT_LOG_* macros call cuopt::default_logger() without g_guard_mutex. reset_default_logger and apply_logger_config call sinks().clear() and sinks().push_back(). rapids_logger::logger::sinks() exposes an unprotected sink vector. Concurrent logging can therefore race with sink replacement and may cause undefined behavior, lost messages, or a process crash. Serialize log emission with sink replacement, or enforce a quiescent logging requirement.

Real race, but pre-existing and out of scope here. logger.cpp on main does the same unsynchronized mutation — reset_default_logger at lines 129-130 and the init_logger_t body at 160-168 both clear() and push_back() on the sink vector with no lock, and the emission path has never taken one. This PR moved that code into the header without changing it.

I would rather not take the suggested fix in this PR. Holding g_guard_mutex across CUOPT_LOG_* would serialize every log call in the codebase on a single mutex, on the hot path of solvers that log per iteration, and the emission path is generated by rapids_logger rather than written here. That is a performance and layering decision that deserves its own change and its own benchmark, not a rider on a visibility refactor.

Worth noting the exposure is narrow in practice: sinks are mutated at solve boundaries, where an init_logger_t or a component configure_logging is constructed, not concurrently with the solve that is emitting. Happy to open an issue for it if you think it is worth tracking.

@ramakrishnap-nv, agreed. This PR preserves the existing sink-mutation concurrency behavior. The suggested g_guard_mutex use would change the logging hot path and needs separate performance evaluation.

Please open a follow-up issue if you want this race tracked. The issue should define the logging concurrency contract and include benchmark criteria for any synchronization design.

Learning: In the cuOpt C++ logging implementation, concurrent `rapids_logger::logger::sinks()` mutation and log emission is a known pre-existing race from `cpp/src/utilities/logger.cpp`. The component-logger refactor in `cpp/src/utilities/logger.hpp` preserves this behavior. Any fix must be evaluated separately because locking each `CUOPT_LOG_*` emission can affect solver hot-path performance and changes the logging-layer concurrency design.

apply_logger_config clears the sinks before installing the new ones, so a
throw part way through -- basic_file_sink_mt does when the log file
cannot be opened -- left the logger with no sinks at all and silently
dropped every later message. configure_logging_impl already handled this;
init_logger_t did not.

…rantee testable

Reviewing this myself, every bug found across four review rounds landed
in the same place: the machinery tracking when a configuration is live.
There were three overlapping mechanisms for one concept -- a shared_ptr
guard for init_logger_t, a separate int depth counter for the external
path, and a static shared_ptr holding the external configuration alive.

Collapse them into one. configure_logging now returns the same handle
init_logger_t holds, so a caller inside the library and one outside share
a single refcount: whoever asks first configures, later callers get a
handle to the same configuration, and the logger resets when the last one
is dropped.

That removes the root cause of three earlier findings rather than
patching them. The depth counter is gone, so it cannot leak or go
unbalanced when a configure throws. The static that held the external
configuration is gone, so it can no longer outlive default_logger() and
reset a destroyed object -- the ordering workaround goes with it. And
reset_logging is gone from the exported surface, which is now just the
two configure_logging entry points.

The other problem was that nothing enforced the guarantee this design
rests on. If the logger's state ever becomes visible, the per-component
instances silently merge back into one through STB_GNU_UNIQUE, with no
build error and no failing test, and a comment was the only thing saying
not to. ci/check_symbols.sh now asserts that state is absent from the
dynamic symbol table, so the regression is loud. Verified it fails when
given a symbol that is exported.

Comment thread cpp/src/utilities/logger.hpp Outdated
A guard's refcount reaching zero expires g_active_guard before its
destructor runs, so another thread can see no live configuration, apply
its own and install a new guard inside that window. The old destructor
then reset the logger unconditionally and wiped the configuration that
thread had just installed. It also mutated the sink vector without the
mutex, racing apply_logger_config.

The guard now records the generation it configured and resets only if
that generation is still current, holding g_guard_mutex while it checks.
Sink mutation on the configure and reset paths is now consistently under
that mutex.

The accompanying test does not demonstrate the race: entering the window
needs the refcount to hit zero exactly while another thread is inside
make_logger_config, and under contention g_active_guard.lock() nearly
always succeeds instead, so disabling the generation check does not make
it fail. It is kept and labelled as a concurrency smoke test rather than
a regression test, since it does cover concurrent use of a shared path.

/ok to test e031c6b

The two exception-safety tests pointed the log file at a missing
directory under /, assuming the sink would fail to open it. The sink
creates missing parent directories, so that only fails for a user who
cannot write to the parent. CI runs as root in a container, created the
directory, and both tests failed there while passing locally.

Nest the log file under a regular file instead. Opening a path whose
parent is not a directory fails with ENOTDIR for every user, root
included, so the trigger no longer depends on privileges.

Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.

Most comments carried narrative rationale better suited to commit
messages than to the code. Cut the ones restating what the code does
or repeating a rationale already given elsewhere, keeping the handful
that document genuinely non-obvious behavior (STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbol
merging, the guard generation-check race, truncate-vs-append sink
semantics, the ENOTDIR test trick).

…ether

mathopt and routing are both compiled into the single `cuopt` shared
library today (cpp/CMakeLists.txt), not into separate component
libraries yet (#1622), so their exported configure_logging entry
points currently operate on the same hidden logger instance rather
than two independent ones. Verified with a standalone visibility/
linking repro outside the tree: two TUs sharing one .so fold an
inline function's static into one instance; across two .so's, hidden
visibility keeps them independent.

Add a test that configures mathopt and routing to two different files
at the same time and asserts the current, intentional behavior: no
corruption (the second configure reuses the first's active
configuration rather than re-truncating), but also no real separation
(the first component's file wins, the second's is left untouched).
The test documents that it must be updated once the library split
lands and the two loggers become independent.
