[Bug classpath/29137] New: Logger parent not updated when new parent appears in namespace

[mark at gcc dot gnu dot org]

In the following code both ab and ac should have the same parent a, but they
don't:

import java.util.logging.*;

public class t
{
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
  {
    Logger ab = Logger.getLogger("a.b");
    Logger a = Logger.getLogger("a");
    Logger ac = Logger.getLogger("a.c");
    System.out.println("a: " + a);
    System.out.println("ab parent: " + ab.getParent());
    System.out.println("ac parent: " + ac.getParent());
  }
}

ac has a as parent, but ab doesn't.

This seems to be caused by the following guard in LogManager.addLogger():

      * When adding "foo.bar", the logger "foo.bar.baz" should change
      * its parent to "foo.bar".
      */
     if (parent != Logger.root)

That if statement seems wrong.
