ah-ha! I was just writing to let you know that's how my project started
out and I
went into this issue, when I decided to try it again and got an error
message I
know how to solve. Probably got it before too, but working off an
all-nighter and
my caffeine hasn't fully kicked in yet. Turns out it's expecting an int
testfunc(), the reason it wasn't working before was I was trying to use
a uint
testfunc()
Thanks for the heads up on the I/O issue with threading, the writefln
wasn't
producing any output once I got it going and thanks to that I know what
the issue
with that was right away, luckily my actual project doesn't require I/O
on a
thread. (I'm writing a multi-threaded raytracer for a class)
Which brings me to my next 2 questions, are dynamic arrays thread safe
in D? I
imagine they should be as long as I don't have two threads writing to
the same
index at once and the array size doesn't change.
They are no more thread safe than any other construct. There is no
special care taken to ensure writes or reads are thread safe, it is up to
you to ensure that.
Also is there a thread safe
linked list somewhere?
As far as I know, there are no builtin linked lists in D's standard
library.
Tango, an alternate standard lib for D1, has linked lists, and
dcollections, a collection package I wrote for both D1 phobos and Tango,
has linked lists, neither of which has thread safety built in.
