(locking resource (read/write)) sounds appropriate for such a resource to me. Maybe you should do locking writes through an agent, and just rely on locking for blocking reads. I don't really know how lock requests are queued, is that why you are looking for more complicated answers?
;; ugh this is ugly!!! I think using locking is more obvious (defn send-off-and-wait [a f & args] (let [blocker (java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue.) done-fn #(.add blocker (apply f % args))] (send-off a done-fn) (.take blocker))) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
