Hello people from D-land.
To summarise my problem: I have a program in the terminal (Posix) with
two threads: one which my main program is run on, and a second one which
polls input via `poll(...)` and `read(...)`.
Let's call main thread T1, and a semi-blocking input-thread T2.
Every second T2 checks if T1 is terminated by checking if the a global
flag is set to true. This is done with a `while(global_flag)`.
This feels to me like iffy code. So my question becomes: what is the
best way to do this check with?
You're fine, a __gshared variable will do this nicely.
