Hello,
I'm making a simple program that processes a lot of mail in separate
guile threads.
I would like a counter of how many messages have been processed so I made an
attempt with
atomics.
first:
(define *msgcount* (make-atomic-box 0))
and later:
(atomic-box-swap! *msgcount* (+ 1 (atomic-box-ref *msgcount*)))
This of course doesn't work very well, and I didnt expect it to either.
(usually the count is low by a couple of hundred messages)
So basically, how do I get something similar to the swap! function in
clojure? Did I miss something in the documentation for guiles atomics?
I think I expected to be able to do the following:
(atomic-box-swap! *msgcount* (lambda (atom) (+ 1 (atomic-box-ref atom))))
