Is a 1:* write:read thread system safe?
- by Di-0xide
Theoretically, thread-safe code should fix race conditions. Race conditions, as I understand it, occur because two threads attempt to write to the same location at the same time.
However, what about a threading model in which a single thread is designed to write to a location, and several slave/worker threads simply read from the location?
Assuming the value/timing at which they read the data isn't relevant/doesn't hinder the worker thread's outcome, wouldn't this be considered 'thread safe', or am I missing something in my logic?
