The use case I'm thinking about is very simple: One big data structure that is mostly read from and sometimes written to. Use a single mutex with a shared lock for reading and an exclusive lock for writing. Then the readers are safe and would only block during updates when one writer is active. Everything else beside the data structure can be per-thread and wouldn't interfere. The problem why we wouldn't want to port this application to another language is 100k lines of existing code that is best written in Python and no resources to rewrite all that. |
