How can I update a global variable across threads as I am getting garbage value for the variable across threads.
Below is sample code which shows the problem
use strict;
use warnings;
use threads;
my $currentWrite = 10;
my $totalSize = 1000;
sub Progress {
my $size = shift;
$currentWrite += $size;
my $currentProgress = $currentWrite / 100;
print "Done ", $currentProgress, " of ", $totalSize, "\n";
}
sub test {
my $countRef = shift;
my $count = $$countRef;
Progress ( 11);
print "Current count is $count\n";
}
Progress(10);
my $numThreads = 5;
my @arrThreads;
for my $i ( 1 .. $numThreads) {
my $t = threads->create( \&test, \$i);
push( @arrThreads, $t);
}
foreach (@arrThreads) {
my $num = $_->join;
}
Below is the output of above program.
# perl thrprog.pl
Done 0.2 of 1000
Done 0.31 of 1000
Current count is 2
Done 0.31 of 1000
Current count is 1
Done 0.31 of 1000
Current count is 3
Done 0.31 of 1000
Current count is 4
Done 0.31 of 1000
Current count is 5
How to share the data across threads so that the value get updated properly.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
