When people talk about all the complications that threads introduce,
they're really talking about this. Shared mutable state is the cancer
of multi-threaded programming.
I'm very interested in the various "paradigms" or patterns of programming
RT safe applications. I've done a bit of reading on the topic, and am
concidering doing my Final Year project based around the concept of
multi-threaded RT safe data storage / retrieval & inter thread
communication.
Idea's for further research, books, papers etc etc all welcome. At this
time I'm thinking about a good title for the paper, and what exactly would
be most interesting to focus on having a perspective as an LAD... :)
