Writing to a file from multiple threads

问题

I am trying to write out to a text file using multiple threads, however the code below gives me an exception - IOError: closed stream

threads = []
File.open("test.txt", "a") do |fp|
  500.times do |time|
    threads << Thread.new do
      fp.puts("#{time}: 1")
      sleep(rand(100) / 100.0)
      fp.puts("#{time}: 2")
    end
  end
end

threads.each{ |thread| thread.join }

回答1:

Move the join inside the file.open block:

threads = []
File.open("test.txt", "a") do |fp|
  500.times do |time|
    threads << Thread.new do
      fp.puts("#{time}: 1")
      sleep(rand(100) / 100.0)
      fp.puts("#{time}: 2")
    end
  end

  threads.each{ |thread| thread.join }
end

Why? Thread.new launches the thread, but it runs in parallel, and the life of the thread in your version isn't guaranteed to be shorter than the life of the file. File.open closes the file after you exit the attached block. By waiting to close the file until after all the threads are done, everything will work as expected.

However, please note that this IS NOT thread safe on JRuby (or any other implementation without a GIL) and may have output intermixed:

6: 1
5: 17: 1
8: 1

3: 10: 110: 1
4: 11: 1
2: 19: 1

11: 1



12: 1
13: 1
14: 1

Note: this question appears to be from Ruby MRI 1.8.7 - File writing thread safety
