[LOG4NET-420] Destructor of class called upon invoking XmlConfigurator.Configure

• Type: Bug

Description

If I run XmlConfigurator.Configure on an XML File after an instance of some class has been created, the destructor of that class is called for some reason. Here is my test code:

using System;

public class Test
{

~Test()

{ Console.WriteLine("Test object finalized."); }

}

public static class M
{
public static void Main()

{ Console.WriteLine("Start"); Test test = new Test(); Console.WriteLine("configuring"); log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(new System.IO.FileInfo("LogConfiguration.xml")); Console.WriteLine("End"); }

}

Running this yields the output:

Start
configuring
Test object finalized.
End

I'm not really sure, if this is a bug in log4net or in mono
