Asp Forum - Threading from a loop

Nicholas Poole

Hi,

My problem is that I want a function to start as a new thread every time
it's called, hence allowing the loop to continue and spawn a thread for
each iteration of the loop. Currently my loop waits for the function to
end before it continues. If anyone can anyone tell me what I'm missing,
or even refer me to some good documentation, I'd be grateful.

My current code is as follows:

cl.add_message_callback do |m|
if m.type != :error
#break off
newreplythread = Thread.new(cl, m) {
#function call is here
}
end
}

(Maybe I'm mistaking the loop for something else, but it's behaviour
apears the same)

Thanks

NickPoole

Code looks good to me unless its never being called.

Try this:

def greet
puts 'hello'
end

threads = []

5.times do |i|
threads << Thread.new do
sleep(rand() * 10)
puts "thread#{i}"
greet
puts
end
puts "loop#{i}"
end
puts

threads.each{|thr| thr.join}

--output:--
loop0
loop1
loop2
loop3
loop4 #Note that all loop iterations are completed

thread3
hello

thread0
hello

thread4
hello

thread1
hello

thread2
hello

Yeah, I agree with fred. Gawd, what a stupid and hurtful thing for Alexis
to say to her father, that she resented him for the way she found out about
the engagement. Yeah, Castle's mother has a big mouth; it sure as hell
WASN'T her news to tell, but so what? Wasn't Alexis of the opinion that her
father should have proposed to Beckett four years earlier?

I can't imagine anyone watches this show for that soap opera. It never even
occurred to me to quit watching based on about 1 minute of dialog with his
daughter. Sure Alexis was an ungrateful little bitch but who cares? I
watch Castle for Filion and the cases.

The last two episodes were light, tongue-in-cheek, episodes. Perfect
examples of what Castle does best. The "time travel" episode especially.
"Best case ever".

When they try doing serious episodes like Becket at the FBI, Becket trying
to uncover who's responsible for her mom's murder for the umpteenth time or
Castle trying to play Liam Neeson in Taken it's just stupid. It also bores
the hell out of me. Though I do admit that the latter was at least funny
when Espo made a comment about him not being Liam Neeson.

And she was off in South America at the time! It's not like she was
still living at home, or even in the dorms, where she could reasonably
except Dad to talk to her.

They have rewritten this character disastrously. The girl we knew from
earlier years on the show would never have treated her father this way.
