Threadsafe

A collection of thread-safe versions of common core Ruby classes.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'thread_safe'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install thread_safe

Usage

require 'thread_safe'

sa = ThreadSafe::Array.new # supports standard Array.new forms
sh = ThreadSafe::Hash.new # supports standard Hash.new forms

ThreadSafe::Cache also exists, as a hash-like object, and should have much better performance characteristics under concurrency than ThreadSafe::Hash. However, ThreadSafe::Cache is not strictly semantically equivalent to ruby Hash -- for instance, it does not neccesarily ordered by insertion time as Hash is. For most uses it should do fine though, and we recommend you consider ThreadSafe::Cache instead of ThreadSafe::Hash for your concurrency-safe hash needs.
