Fixes #2243

Changes

Using only the default constructor to initialize std::atomic objects is incorrect.
This is a particularity of std::atomic itself, that does not follow the same rules as C++ in general.

See: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/atomic/atomic

In the entire code base, reviewed every use of std::atomic,
and changed initialization to use the direct list initialization syntax.

see: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/list_initialization

This form is the most robust and maintainable:

  • auditing the source code for correctness is easier
  • this form guarantees a proper initialization will be done, in all cases

This fixed the bug reported on the periodic metric reader, tested under valgrind.

This fixed a missing initialization in one of the BatchLogRecordProcessor constructors,
found by code review.

This also fixed the following pattern, which technically, is incorrect:

std::atomic<bool> flag;
flag.store(true);

With the fix, code such as:

std::atomic<bool> flag{false};
flag.store(true);

is correct, because it is now legal to call store() as the object is initialized.

  • CHANGELOG.md updated for non-trivial changes
  • Unit tests have been added
  • Changes in public API reviewed
