Hi,
I am using the std.concurrency module and I would like to send an
associative array to another thread.
If I try this:
string[string] aa;
someThread.send(aa);
I get: Aliases to mutable thread-local data not allowed.
And if I try to use this:
immutable(string[string]) aa;
someThread.send(aa);
I get:
/usr/include/d/dmd/phobos/std/variant.d(539): Error: *p is not mutable
which is because the send() creates a Message struct that stores the
data in a Variant.
And now I am stuck, because I do not have any idea what to do. Any advice?
Perhaps declaring the associative array as "shared". An alternative
would be to serialize the aa, pass it to another thread, and deserialize
it. That would though create a copy.
