I am reading this blog: Use Threads Correctly, and I am wondering: How to implement a message (Note: I don't mean Windows Message here) pump in a non-UI thread? What I want is that the message can be an object or a command, say an Action<T>/Func<T>, etc. Do I have to use separate queue for different type of message? Say one queue for o...
Hello, I am trying to run a Thread to parse a list of links using the universal feed parser, but when I start the thread I get a Trace/BPT trap. Here's the code I am using: class parseRssFiles(Thread): def __init__ (self,rssLinks): Thread.__init__(self) self.rssLinks = rssLinks def run(self): self.rssContents =...
I had code that worked fine when running in the context of the main VCL thread. This code allocated it's own WndProc() in order to handle SendMessage() calls. I am now trying to move it to a background thread because I am concerned that the SendMessage() traffic is affecting the main VCL thread adversely. So I created a worker thread ...
Hi, I am using a third party API which performs what I would assume are expensive operations in terms of time/resources used (image recognition, etc). What tell-tale signs are there that the code under test should be made to use threads to increase performance? I have a profiler and will be profiling the code I write which will rely on...
I implemented a Singleton pattern like this: public sealed class MyClass { ... public static MyClass Instance { get { return SingletonHolder.instance; } } ... static class SingletonHolder { public static MyClass instance = new MyClass (); } } From Googling around for C# Singleton implementat...
I'm trying to write a library to separate all the disk activity out into its own thread, but the documentation doesn't really care about such things. What I want to accomplish is that aside from startup, all disk activity is asynchronous, and for that, I need to wrap every class that accesses the disk. Here's what I found so far: QtCor...
My task is to simulate activity of couple of persons. Each of them has few activities to perform in some random time: fast (0-5s), medium(5-10s), slow(10-20s) and very slow(20-30s). Each person performs its task independently in the same time. At the beginning of new task I should print it's random time, start the task and then after tim...
I'm putting together a custom SynchronizedCollection<T> class so that I can have a synchronized Observable collection for my WPF application. The synchronization is provided via a ReaderWriterLockSlim, which, for the most part, has been easy to apply. The case I'm having trouble with is how to provide thread-safe enumeration of the col...
I have a multi-threaded application in C# which tries to write to a TextBox in a Windows.Forms created by another thread. As threads cannot modify what has not been created by them, I was using InvokeRequired as shown on the code below, to solve this problem. public delegate void MessageDelegate(Communication message); void agent_Mess...
Is there any way I can have a thread branch off into its own independent process? I know there's the CreateProcess function but as far as I can tell, you can only run external applications with it. Is what I'm asking for at all possible? ...
Hello, I have WPF application which communicates with WCF service(service is Publisher and WPF application is Subscriber). I need multiple subscriptions to service from one application with callbacks to run in multiple threads. In each thread, application will subscribe to service and on callback(in same thread) save values to DB. Plea...
Do I have to lock access to instance members? Example: public class HttpModule : IHttpModule { //... Dictionary<int, int> foo; void UseFoo(int a, int b) { foo[a] = b; } } ...
I'm writing a program in C on windows that needs to run as many threads as available cores. But I dont know how to get the number of cores. Any ideas? ...
I had a task to write simple game simulating two players picking up 1-3 matches one after another until the pile is gone. I managed to do it for computer choosing random value of matches but now I'd like to go further and allow humans to play the game. Here's what I already have : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/200660/ Class Player is a co...
I know Singleton pattern has been discussed so much. But because I'm not fully understand the memory management mechanism in Objective-C, so when I combined Singleton implementation with multithreading, I got a big error and cost me a whole day to resolve it. I had a singleton object, let's call it ObjectX. I declared an object inside O...
We have a C++ shared library that uses ZeroC's Ice library for RPC and unless we shut down Ice's runtime, we've observed child processes hanging on random mutexes. The Ice runtime starts threads, has many internal mutexes and keeps open file descriptors to servers. Additionally, we have a few of mutexes of our own to protect our intern...
Hello, The Ruby framework I am using provides a TcpServer class which, surprisingly, establishes a TcpServer. It has two threads - one monitors with Kernel.select the listener thread and dispatches a on_client_connect(fd) method and the other monitors established connections and dspatches on_client_data(fd). I want to use the TcpServer...
Hi Everyone, I have a class that contains a boolean field like this one: public class MyClass { private bool boolVal; public bool BoolVal { get { return boolVal; } set { boolVal = value; } } } The field can be read and written from many threads using the property. My question is if I should fence the g...
I want to access a scrollviewer from another thread. Please tell me how to do detach it from the Main Thread so that I can change the Offsets of the scrollviewer. Thanks ...
Maybe this question has been asked many times before, but I never found a satisfying answer. The problem: I have to simulate a process scheduler, using the round robin strategy. I'm using threads to simulate processes and multiprogramming; everything works fine with the JVM managing the threads. But the thing is that now I want to have...
