Hi,

i'm looking for a queue or semaphore
i'm running DMD/phobos on win32

my program:
one thread produces images, the other thread displays them with tight timing.
i need to produce images in advance so they can be displayed without the delay that creating them would incur.

ideas?

Well, you get mutexes for free.

So you just synchronize (mutex-lock) your image class, then you can have one thread writing and another thread reading, and all should be well.

I think...

(1) it's pure luck that i noticed my old thread on the "new threads" list
(2) i knew of synchronized back then. it's a low level primitive that i feel no urge to implement stuff on that's supposed to be coming with the stdlib
(3) thanks for minding
