How does static code run with multiple threads?
- by Krisc
I was reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1511798/threading-from-within-a-class-with-static-and-non-static-methods and I am in a similar situation.
I have a static method that pulls data from a resource and creates some runtime objects based on the data.
static class Worker{
public static MyObject DoWork(string filename){
MyObject mo = new MyObject();
// ... does some work
return mo;
}
}
The method takes awhile (in this case it is reading 5-10mb files) and returns an object.
I want to take this method and use it in a multiple thread situation so I can read multiple files at once. Design issues / guidelines aside, how would multiple threads access this code?
Let's say I have something like this...
class ThreadedWorker {
public void Run() {
Thread t = new Thread(OnRun);
t.Start();
}
void OnRun() {
MyObject mo = Worker.DoWork("somefilename");
mo.WriteToConsole();
}
}
Does the static method run for each thread, allowing for parallel execution?
