I'm not convinced that the docs quite cover the case I am looking, so I am posting here.
https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Timer.Reset says "This should not be done concurrent to other receives from the Timer's channel" but it's not clear what the repercussions are. In our case, I have a function to be run periodically, on a timer, but it can be run manually too. When run manually, I want to push the timer out (restart the period). I have a goroutine doing: ``` for { select { case <-stop: pr.stop() return case <-timer.C: run() } } ``` deep inside run(), we have: ``` timer.Stop() timer.Reset(period) ``` I understand that I could lose the race and deliver on timer.C _just before_ this runs, and that is fine. What I am seeking to know is whether this is considered "safe"? The receive is running concurrently to the Reset(). Will this cause problems inside Timer, beyond the potential "extra" delivery? Do I need to break the loop and stop receiving on it while the Reset() happens? Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
