I was interested in implementing a library like malbolgia myself, I'll look at
the source code, the locker implementation is what I need.
The following works:
import malebolgia
import malebolgia / lockers
type Example = object
s: string
c: int
proc threadFunc(lockedObj: Locker[Example]) =
lock lockedObj as obj:
obj.s.add($obj.c)
inc obj.c
proc threadHandler() =
var m = createMaster()
var ex: Example
var myObj = initLocker(ex)
m.awaitAll:
for i in 0..4:
m.spawn threadFunc(myObj)
lock myObj as obj:
echo obj
echo "Work"
threadHandler()
echo "Done."
Run
I thought passing `ref` to Threads worked as [the nim memory
model](https://nim-lang.org/docs/mm.html) says that ORC has a shared heap.
I think understand well how Nim deals with memory, what I don't understand is
how this interacts with threads.
But this is good as I plan to create a PR to add more documentation comments to
the standard library and I feel like [the typed thread
page](https://nim-lang.org/2.0.2/typedthreads.html) needs an update.
