I wanted to share a global variable between 2 lanes,the idea is that when lane1 updates a shared variable,i should be able to get it's updated value on lane2 when it gets scheduled. Is there a solution to this?
Code Snippet below :-
shared_variable = 0
local function lane1()
..
shared_variable = shared_variable + 1
end
local function lane2()
..
print(shared_variable)-->shared variable is not getting updated,always prints 0
end
Thread1= lanes.gen("*",{globals = _G},lane1)
Thread2= lanes.gen("*",{globals = _G},lane2)
T1 = Thread1()
T2 = Thread2()
T1:join()
T2:join()
Below is the sample implementation where we can share a varible between Lanes(using set & get method)
require("lanes")
shared_variable = 0
local linda = lanes.linda()
local function lane1()
while true do
shared_variable = shared_variable + 1
linda:set("var", shared_variable)
end
end
local function lane2()
while true do
local v = linda:get("var")
print(v)
end
end
Thread1= lanes.gen("*",{globals = _G},lane1)
Thread2= lanes.gen("*",{globals = _G},lane2)
T1 = Thread1()
T2 = Thread2()
T1:join()
T2:join()
