Changes

Add a basic example extending the existing one:

  • Uses the same sleepy function
  • Adds a global integer counter
  • Adds use of a mutex example
  • Adds use of a wait group and thread pool for waiting for completions
  • Uses defer on mutex and waitgroup as good practice demonstration
  • Code is commented, minimally
  • Some description of the "why" of the various elements, without expanding on general thread-safety details; this exists in more general tutorials web-wide.

Scope

Updated the examples for 0.13.0 and 0.14.0 directly (I could not find a shared template?). Specifically did not choose to attempt to back-port.

Issues

  • uses a sleep() to avoid reaching the waitAndWork(&wg) too soon. Feels like a hack, but not sure what else to do.
    • resolved by calling wg.start() in the main thread

Tested with

  • 0.13.0
  • 0.14.0-dev.2441+3670910f2
