Remember this bit: Everything on the heap, is not thread-local, it is global. This includes everything inside a class.

When you synchronize (statement) it is locking and then unlocking a mutex. A class has a mutex, simple! It only prevent multiple threads modifying a single thing at specific times, thats all.

this is my implementation of Accept


private void Accept(){
        // start accepting in a different thread
        try{
            _client = _server.accept();
emit(ClientConnected(_client.remoteAddress.toAddrString));
            auto _acceptTask = task(&this.Accept);
            _acceptTask.executeInNewThread();
            Receive();
        }
        catch (SocketAcceptException e){
writeln("Error while accepting connection: " ~ e.msg);
        }
    }

Is _client on the Heap or the Stack? If it is on the Stack, how would i get in on the Heap?

_client is allocated in the heap.

Socket accept(); returns the socket created from Socket accepting().

Which is like below:

 protected Socket accepting() pure nothrow
    {
        return new Socket;
    }

thank you, i thought i was going mad.

It is working now. The problem was that the debugger in eclipse ddt seems to completely broken. If i run it directly from bash it is working.

One last question: is there a function in the std to wait for a task to finish within a time limit?

Not an ideal solution, but should work: (I'm not aware of any build-in solutions using Phobos' tasks.

```
static const timeLimit = 1000; // Wait for the task up to 1000 milliseconds

while (!task.done && timeLimit)
{
    import core.time : Thread, dur;

Thread.sleep( dur!("msecs")(1) ); // Preventing the CPU to go nuts
    timeLimit--;
}

if (task.done)
{
    auto value = task.yieldForce();
}
```

Could make it a function though:

```
bool yieldTimeLimit(Task)(Task task)
{
    while (!task.done && timeLimit)
    {
        import core.time : Thread, dur;

        Thread.sleep( dur!("msecs")(1) );
        timeLimit--;
    }

    return task.done;
}

...

if (yieldTimeLimit(task))
{
    auto value = task.yieldForce();
}
```
