Timing class is not threadsafe

.NET

Timing class is not threadsafe.

I get System.IndexOutOfRangeException error from the AddChild method in the Timing class.

I have added a lock to avoid the error:

    private object _childrenLock = new object();

    /// <summary>
    /// Add the parameter 'timing' to this Timing's Children collection.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="timing">The timing.</param>
    /// <remarks>Used outside this assembly for custom deserialization when creating an <see cref="Storage.IStorage"/> implementation.</remarks>
    public void AddChild(Timing timing)
    {
        lock (_childrenLock)
        {
            if (Children == null)
                Children = new List<Timing>();

            Children.Add(timing);
        }
        timing.ParentTiming = this;
    }

Exception detail:

Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

@jdixon any idea what is going on here?

It’s well-known the implementation isn’t thread-safe. Something to be addressed soon, I hope.
