A little OT, but to avoid confusion for other readers, I want to point out that "logic race conditions" can be benign, but that "data race conditions" should never be considered benign *in user code*. By a "data race condition", I mean that two threads (or goroutines) are accessing the same data at the same time, and one of the accesses is a write. I am not trying to imply that Jesper was saying any different. I just wanted to clarify for others who could misinterpret his comments. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
