Check following codes first:
class DemoClass():
def __init__(self):
#### I really want to know if self.Counter is thread-safe.
self.Counter = 0
def Increase(self):
self.Counter = self.Counter + 1
def Decrease(self):
self.Counter = self.Counter - 1
def DoThis(self):
while True:
Do something
if A happens:
self.Increase()
else:
self.Decrease()
time.sleep(randomSecs)
def DoThat(self):
while True:
Do other things
if B happens:
self.Increase()
else:
self.Decrease()
time.sleep(randomSecs)
def ThreadSafeOrNot(self):
InterestingThreadA = threading.Thread(target = self.DoThis, args = ())
InterestingThreadA.start()
InterestingThreadB = threading.Thread(target = self.DoThat, args = ())
InterestingThreadB.start()
I'm facing the same situation as above. I really want to know if it's thread-safe for self.Counter
, well if not, what options do I have? I can only think of threading.RLock()
to lock this resource, any better idea?
