The assignments to array elements are where the race lies.
I don’t know about the libswiftcore part, but: assigning to a shared Array
concurrently from multiple threads won't work, because of Array's copy-on-write
behaviour. You could do
let items = UnsafeMutablePointer<[UInt8]?>.allocate(capacity: 1)
items.initialize(to: nil, count: count)
DispatchQueue.concurrentPerform(iterations: count) {
items[$0].initialize([UInt8](repeating: 7, count: 10))
}
// you’ll be able to see here that they’re all initialized
items.deallocate(capacity: count)
Cheers,
