Dex & Unsociable
I was just debugging a multi-threaded queue, and I'm stumped by a subtle race condition. Have you run into anything like that lately?
Yeah, race conditions are like ghosts in code. Log every enqueue and dequeue with thread IDs and timestamps, then look for out-of-order events. If that doesn't clear it up, switch to an atomic queue or add a proper lock around the critical section. It usually turns the mystery into something you can reason about.
Sounds solid—I'll start timestamping each operation and watch for the odd out‑of‑order spikes. If the lock still feels too coarse, maybe try a lock‑free queue library. Any suggestions on which one’s the most battle‑tested?
