| 02:53.48 | hoiji | starseeker: I am sorry I didn't made myself clearer earlier. |
| 02:53.56 | hoiji | Only *some* functions in their thread safe form become memory consumptive. That is because data structures used in them are not concurrent read safe. |
| 02:54.01 | hoiji | Ex their is a function "getFwdRefsSafely()" which returns the concurrent read unsafe data structure: "_fwdRefs". |
| 02:54.06 | hoiji | Hence everytime the function like "getFwdRefsSafely()" is called, "_fwdRefs" is cloned, thereby requiring more memory with every call. |
| 02:54.11 | hoiji | However its "thread unsafe" counterpart "getFwdsRefs()" thus not require clones to be made and simply returns the original data-structure. |
| 02:54.58 | hoiji | In such cases I would like to retain both functions and let the user chose which one he wants to chose |
| 02:57.25 | hoiji | by internal I mean stepcode. Say function A is public function of a class exposed to the user. Say A calls function B, B calls function C and C calls function D |
| 03:01.04 | hoiji | Now, function D happens to be *not* thread safe, So I create its thread safe counterpart DS. |
| 03:01.19 | hoiji | In my original strategy (of creating function of different name), I will have to create a function CS which will be the same as C except that it will call DS and not D |
| 03:02.39 | hoiji | Similarly I will have to create functions BS which will be the same as B except that it will call CS and not C. |
| 03:02.54 | hoiji | Same logic goes for A |
| 03:03.01 | hoiji | ^AS |
