Friday Q&A 2017-10-27: Locks, Thread Safety, and Swift: 2017 Edition

Read Original

This 2017 edition article revisits thread safety and locking mechanisms in Swift, updating a previous guide for modern practices. It explains different lock types (blocking, spinlocks, reader/writer, recursive), details relevant Apple APIs (pthread_mutex_t, DispatchQueue, NSLock, os_unfair_lock), and discusses how to use them effectively for safe concurrent programming in Swift.
