Rust scoped threads are back
Just wanted to share this slight modification on the documented example. I just added some dbg!
calls and put the example in a main function, but now you can try this with copy and paste into your main.rs
for a new cargo project.
use std::thread;
fn main() {
let mut a = vec![1, 2, 3];
let mut x = 0;
dbg!(&x);
thread::scope(|s| {
s.spawn(|| {
println!("hello from the first scoped thread");
dbg!(&a);
});
s.spawn(|| {
println!("hello from the second scoped thread");
x += a[0] + a[2];
});
println!("hello from the main thread");
});
a.push(4);
assert_eq!(x, a.len());
dbg!(&a);
dbg!(&x);
}
