Hi,
I wrote this script:
(def number (ref 0))
(def add1 (partial + 1))
(def num-threads (Integer/parseInt (first *command-line-args*)))
(def increments (Integer/parseInt (second *command-line-args*)))
(defn add-number [field times]
(dorun (repeatedly times
(fn []
(dosync
(alter field add1))))))
(def thread (partial add-number number increments))
(printf "Starting %d threads, each with %d increments\n"
num-threads increments)
(dorun (apply pcalls (repeat num-threads thread)))
(printf "Number = %d\n" @number)
It is basically a port of a C code that I wrote to demonstrate STM. The
problem is when I run it, it displays
% java -cp /usr/share/clojure/clojure.jar clojure.main fixed.clj 5 1000
Starting 5 threads, each with 1000 increments
Number = 5000
And instead of exiting, it "hangs" in this state for a number of
seconds before finally quitting. Why is that so and how can I fix that?
I tried calling (System/exit 0) in the end, but then it didn't even
display anything before quitting.
Hope to get some answers. Clojures lazy evaluation sometimes confuses
me.
regards,
Marek
