why move flush to outside the synchronized block?
flush should be thread safe. In general, yiu want as little
code as possible to run under the lock. Not that important
though.
trying out this approach I found to be ok except in some
cases, the output look like that:
...
also there's that extra ♪◙ character. Thos sounds memory
violation somewhere.
This only happens when using parallel. Any guess what's
possibily happeing?
Hard to say without seeing code. Agree it looks like a race.
I'll try to make a reduced version of the program so that your
guys can help me find out what's wrong.
One guess:
In the code:
foreach(x; parallel(arr)) {
auto a = f(x);
auto res = g(a);
synchronized {
stdout.writeln(res);
stdout.flush();
}
assuming res is a class type, is res's adress unique due whole
loop execution or it can be overritten by another thread? for
example:
the writeln() call block is locked until thread3 finish printing,
thread2 has just finished and now is waiting for thread3 free the
resource but before that happens, thread2 just finish. Can
thread2 overrite the res adress in any way?
I need clarifation on that to try find out what's wrong with this
code.
for more info: g() does have the last statement as return new
myClass()
