Given:
* The goals defined in the first post of this topic
* the answers received (thank you !)
* Nim limitations " _Each thread has its own (garbage collected) heap and
sharing of memory is restricted to global variables._ "
* My struggling but unsuccessful attempts to have multiple threads accessing
a common global data structure (
growFunc0(ch:int64) {.gcsafe.} = echo "started " & $nodeMap.len
Run
leads to _growFunc0 ' is not GC-safe as it accesses 'nodeMap' which is a global
using GC'ed memory_ with any compiler option)
* The limited documentation of nim regarding this
* The far-from-straightforward solutions suggested
... it seams that the reasonable action would be to switch back from nim to c++
(and possibly get back to nim when multi-threading evolves)
... unless someone has a working example of similar goals achieved with
reasonably readable code.
