Hi golang-nuts,
When I read the source code about chan.go, I found some problems that were
a little difficult to understand.
hchan has two function, full and empty.
func full(c *hchan) bool {
// c.dataqsiz is immutable (never written after the channel is created)
// so it is safe to read at any time during channel operation.
if c.dataqsiz == 0 {
// Assumes that a pointer read is relaxed-atomic.
return c.recvq.first == nil
}
// Assumes that a uint read is relaxed-atomic.
return c.qcount == c.dataqsiz
}
func empty(c *hchan) bool {
// c.dataqsiz is immutable.
if c.dataqsiz == 0 {
return atomic.Loadp(unsafe.Pointer(&c.sendq.first)) == nil
}
return atomic.Loaduint(&c.qcount) == 0
}
why does the empty function use atomic while the full function does not?
Thank you in advance for your read and help.
