Not to repeat my prev post... but in reply to Walter's take on it, it
would be interesting if 'shared' just added implicit lock()/unlock()
methods to do the mutex acquisition and then remove the cast
requirement, but have the language runtime assert that the object is
locked whenever it is accessed (this guarantees the safety in a more
useful way, the casts are really annying). I can't imagine a simpler and
more immediately useful solution.
How about implementing a library function, something like this:
shared int i;
lock(i, (x) {
// operate on x
});
* "lock" will acquire a lock
* Cast away shared for "i"
* Call the delegate with the now plain "int"
* Release the lock
