Thread doc

Hello everybody,

Sorry if this question was asked before.

But do there is some extensive documentation and other examples
available for sync.rb and monitor.rb (in the ruby/lib) ?

Thanks in advance

From monitor.rb rd doc:

monitor.rb

This library is distributed under the terms of the Ruby license. You
can freely distribute/modify this library.

example

This is a simple example.
require ‘monitor.rb’

buf =
buf.extend(MonitorMixin)
empty_cond = buf.new_cond

consumer

Thread.start do
loop do
buf.synchronize do
empty_cond.wait_while { buf.empty? }
print buf.shift
end
end
end

producer

while line = ARGF.gets
buf.synchronize do
buf.push(line)
empty_cond.signal
end
end

The consumer thread waits for the producer thread to push a line to buf
while buf.empty?, and the producer thread (main thread) reads a line
from ARGF and push it to buf, then call empty_cond.signal.
