Re^3: Locking hash values

I think that should be

lock ${$hash{key}};
[download]

The idea is that $scalar is shared, and therefore lockable.

That works out well. It's weird that it's mentioned in the POD as something that should work without all of this hoopla. The design behind perl threads _really_ wants to make it hard to share data, it seems.	[reply]

To continue with this theme why not to share a ref to a hash. Like so: `... use threads; use threads::shared; ... my $href : shared; $href = &share({}); ... # Lock block { lock $href; $href->{mykey} = 'myval'; } ...` [download] For more see perldoc threads::shared. - BR	[reply] [d/l]

If the OP wanted to lock the hash, `lock(%hash)` would be sufficient. However, he wants to lock an element of the hash.	[reply] [d/l]

yeah, I could lock the whole hash, but I'd much rather be able to lock hash-values to keep from blocking too much.	[reply]
