Activate RingBuffer-behavior when using MaxLogsCount so skipping expensive List.RemoveAt(0).

But most importantly adding support for non-blocking-enumeration, though can lead to tearing/skipping when activating RingBuffer-behavior and RingBuffer wraps during enumeration. So disabled by default when using MaxLogsCount to guarantee consistent view by default.

Walkthrough

MemoryTarget now stores logs in a bounded ring buffer. It adds configurable enumeration behavior and ring-buffer-aware collection operations. Tests cover wrapping, limits, indexing, mutation, and enumeration.

Changes

MemoryTarget ring-buffer storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ring-buffer implementation
src/NLog/Targets/MemoryTarget.cs
MemoryTarget delegates log storage to RingBufferList. Positive limits evict older entries. Collection operations use logical indexes across wraparound. BlockingEnumeration controls enumeration behavior.
Ring-buffer behavior validation
tests/NLog.UnitTests/Targets/MemoryTargetTests.cs
Tests cover enumeration, bounded insertion, resumed growth, indexing, mutation after wrapping, and non-blocking enumeration.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0dc1

Configured log retention can be bypassed through the public Logs collection, and blocking enumeration can return an inconsistent result or fail to finish when enumeration re-enters logging. These correctness issues should be fixed before merge.

Add a wrapped-buffer clear regression test. MemoryTarget_ClearLogsTest uses an unbounded buffer, and the bounded tests clear only before wrapping. If RingBufferList<T>.Clear() stops resetting _startIndex, a wrapped buffer can return incorrect logical order or throw after subsequent appends. Add one bounded test that wraps, clears, appends, and checks indexed access and enumeration.

226-233: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate index before the buffer is trimmed.

Insert mutates the buffer before List.Insert validates index. When the buffer is full, Logs.Insert(-1, item) discards the oldest entry and then throws, so the call fails but loses data. An index greater than Count is also clamped instead of rejected, which breaks the IList<T> contract that Logs exposes.

Validate against the original count first.

🐛 Proposed fix
                 lock (_list)
                 {
+                    if ((uint)index > (uint)_list.Count)
+                        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(index));
+
                     Normalize();
                     if (MaxLogsCount > 0 && _list.Count >= MaxLogsCount)
                     {
                         TrimToMaxLogsCount(_list.Count + 1, MaxLogsCount);
                         if (index > _list.Count)
                             index = _list.Count;
                     }
                     _list.Insert(index, item);
                 }

This repeats an earlier finding on the same lines that is still present in the current code.

🟠 Major · Enforce MaxLogsCount in Insert. · MemoryTarget.cs:264-269

src/NLog/Targets/MemoryTarget.cs:264-269
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Enforce MaxLogsCount in Insert.

The documented contract sets a positive MaxLogsCount as the maximum number of retained logs, with the oldest logs discarded when the limit is reached. RingBufferList<T>.Insert only normalizes and calls List<T>.Insert, so a valid insert into a full buffer can exceed the limit. Repeated inserts can grow the collection without bound.

Validate index before trimming so an invalid insert does not evict logs. Then apply the same trimming and oldest-item eviction policy as Add. Add a regression test for insertion into a full wrapped buffer.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply bounded retention to RingBufferList<T>.Insert.

When MemoryTarget.Logs is full, a valid Insert currently calls List<T>.Insert without trimming. With MaxLogsCount = 3, Insert(2, item) changes Count from 3 to 4. Apply the existing retention logic, but validate the original index before trimming so invalid IList indexes still throw.

🟡 Minor · Enforce MaxLogsCount in RingBufferList<T>.Insert. · MemoryTarget.cs:254-261

src/NLog/Targets/MemoryTarget.cs:254-261
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Enforce MaxLogsCount in RingBufferList<T>.Insert. MemoryTarget.Logs exposes this method through IList<string>. When MaxLogsCount > 0, Insert calls Normalize() and then _list.Insert(...) without trimming. Repeated calls can therefore exceed the configured maximum. The predecessor implementation trimmed before insertion and retained three items when the limit was three.

Apply the retention logic inside RingBufferList<T>.Insert, so every Logs.Insert call retains at most MaxLogsCount. This is the correction-owning boundary.
