Hi, Andreas,
The construct you're looking for is a conditional atomic section ("when").
The pattern could be something like this:
finish {
val sync = new Cell[Boolean](false);
async { // A
Console.ERR.println("A: Locking");
when (sync()) { Console.ERR.println("A: Unlocked"); }
}
async { // B
System.sleep(1000);
Console.ERR.println("B: Unlocking A");
atomic { sync() = true; }
}
}
Note that the "atomic" in B is needed for the update to be seen by A.
Hope this helps,
Igor
