I don't think any of these solutions help, as I did not write the writer thread and cannot alter its code.
Unless I am missing something, use of notify/wait would only move the sleep() to another thread, achieving nothing. Is there no intrinsic, system-based means of having a read block until the stream is closed (rather than having just temporarily run dry) or has more data to offer? This is a key part of many I/O systems, yes? tone On Dec 19, 9:22 am, Kostya Vasilyev <[email protected]> wrote: > Use Java thread synchronization: > > http://www.javamex.com/tutorials/synchronization_wait_notify.shtml > > Have the reader thread "wait" when there is no data and the writer > thread "notify" the reader when more data is available (and when it > should exit its processing loop). > > -- Kostya > > 19.12.2010 16:38, DulcetTone пишет: > > > > > > > > > > > I have code in a worker thread that needs to efficiently read a > > constantly-growing input stream from a process. > > > The issue is that the present design uses a sleep() for a short period > > if there is no input presently available, and I'd like the attempt to > > read the input stream simply *block* so it magically awakes when more > > input is available.
