Practical use of shared qualifier? D coder <dlang.coder <at> gmail.com> 2011-03-08 01:19:42 GMT Greetings I lately came across usefulness of "shared" qualifier in section 13.12.1. After reading the section, I guess I need to use shared qualifier more frequently than to just make sure that global variables are not treated thread-local.
I think I need to make all class objects that would be accessed by multiple threads shared as well. I tried to follow this on the application I am developing. Another issue is that the std container library does not seem to work with shared objects. Kindly let me know if I am missing something. I am kind of stuck right now.

The Airport Extreme, version n, dissected. Apple recently released their first "n-capable" base station. As usual, this base station is packaged in a beautiful case, whose form factor appears to have been chosen expressly to fit under a Apple-TV™ or Mac Mini™.
Moreover, unlike previous base stations, it's design nods towards the need for cooling: The base station incorporates an intake strip around the edge at the bottom of the case, and the crease along the top is acts as an exhaust. Under the top cover, a thick heat sink acts as a case as well as a RFI shield. The heat sink is designed to transfer the heat from all the chips at the center of the ABS to the periphery, where the passive cooling via convection through the case is supposed to happen. In my opinion, this design is marginal and I have made the decision to remove the top white plastic exterior cover, permanently exposing the heat sink directly to ambient air. I hope to lower the internal temperatures this way, extending the life of all electronic components. Tera-scale Computing Research Program.
