Hi
I need an array with volatile items, and can't find a way to do that.
private volatile T[] _arr;
This means that the _arr reference is volatile, however it does not guarantee anything about the items inside the _arr object itself.
Is there any way to mark the _arr's Items as volatile?
Thanks.
EDIT:
The following code built according to binarycoder's answer. Is this code thread-safe to use?
public class VolatileArray<T>
{
private T[] _arr;
public VolatileArray(int length)
{
_arr = new T[length];
}
public VolatileArray(T[] arr)
{
_arr = arr;
}
public T this[int index]
{
get
{
T value = _arr[index];
Thread.MemoryBarrier();
return value;
}
set
{
Thread.MemoryBarrier();
_arr[index] = value;
}
}
public int Length
{
get { return _arr.Length; }
}
}
