Shouldn't you be waiting for the threads to exit at the end of main? I
wonder if the GC has been shut down by main exiting.

I guess you're right. (This test program was written based on a larger
program
where this effect shows up, and forgetting that was just an oversight.)
On the
other hand, it still doesn't fix the problem. Also note, in case it's
relevant,
my OS is win32.
import core.thread, std.stdio;
void main() {
Thread[] myThreads;
foreach(i; 0..4) {
myThreads ~= new Thread( { doStuff(); });
myThreads[$ - 1].start;
}
doStuff();
}
void doStuff() {
while(true) {
synchronized {
writeln("Doing stuff.");
}
}
}
Have you tried synchronizing on an actual object? I remember some time
back how Walter proposed removing synchronized as you have written it.
Not sure what happened for that.
The way you have written the code, assuming that the synchronized
statement is doing what you think it's doing, the call to writeln should
be completely syncrhonous, so multithreading issues or not, it should work.
