I would do something like:
import Foundation
class Task { // Must be a class to prevent Swift copy semantics
eliminating the result
private static let queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(
DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0)
private let group = dispatch_group_create()
private var _result: String?
init(name: String) {
dispatch_group_async(group, Task.queue) {
self._result = name // The asynchronous task!
}
}
var result: String { // Provide safe access to result
dispatch_group_wait(group, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER) // Block
until task finished
return _result!
}
}
var tasks = [String : Task]()
let names = ["One", "Two"]
names.forEach {
tasks[$0] = Task(name: $0)
}
tasks.map { (_, task) in // Prints [One, Two] in playground
task.result
}
