Trying to design thread safe class
-
3. you can provide a function (thread-safe) that changes the values (without de-initializing). Best, John

Why are you so much against Deinit function? Is it so problematic? Assume I want Deinit function, I basically gave all the details in above comments and in the main question - would you say in such case my Parameters class is thread safe?
1. About deinit()- if that's what you want, fine. It's just that to me it seems to just bring extra complexity - but hey, it's your code :) 2. Yes, it's thread-safe Best, John

Is it also thread safe if I remove isInited checks from X1 and X2 getters? - Granted no one calls any methods of this class, unless a init method is called (this I can ensure because I am using this class directly) - I have isInited check first in any method calling this class.

1. Yes it is - variables X1/X2 are automatically initialized to zero. 2. You modified your code:
public static int X1()
{
if(!isInited()) throw new Exception("init first");
return x1;}
should be
public static int X1()
{
lock(this) {
if(!isInited()) throw new Exception("init first");
return x1;
}

Yeah but I said what if I do
public static int X1()
{return x1;}
Granted none calls these methods before INIT method is called (I can ensure this because I am writing those methods) - I will check
isInitedcalls in the start of each method calling this class -

public static int X1{} { lock(locker) return x1; }

No, that is not thread-safe. This is :
public static int X1{} { lock(locker) return x1; }

Please look at my final version and tell me what you think: http://codepad.org/T3D6uabs[^]
yes, it's threadsafe

Thanks a lot, few more questions, and I would appreciate if you can help: - if I add more variables other than x1 and x2 but I maintain same style in accessing and initializing them will it affect thread safety? will it affect performance? (probably). Do you know more performance friendly way to solve the problem my class solves?

1. if you add more variables in the same manner, yes 2. will it affect performance? don't worry about that, performance will be the same. And on the init()/deinit() - the "decrease" won't be noticeable. 3. Your class is fine Best, John

Thanks a lot!!! So you are saying if I add more properties in same manner, it won't be problem?
Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying :) Best, John
