The key thing to remember in all questions of core.async GC is that there is no global "blocked gos" queue. Instead, the blocked "gos" are attached directly to the channel. When the channel is GC'd all attached gos are GC'd as well.
So in this case, it's actually even simpler.....the go never blocks. What this code is doing is creating a channel to return from the go. This channel has a buffer size of 1. It then puts a channel into the channel. The go then exits and is GC'd. Once the return channel is discarded by the caller of this code, both channels are also GC'd Timothy On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 11:24 AM, t x <txrev...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Consider this block of code: > > (async/go (async/chan)) > > This creates a go-thread and a go-chan. > > The go-thread is linked from the list of blocked go-threads. > > The go-chan is linked from the go-thread. > > Thus, did we just create a go-thread and a go-chan which is NOT gc-ed at > all? > > Thanks! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with > your first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Clojure" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- "One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that-lacking zero-they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs."
