A collection of thread-safe versions of common core Ruby classes.

__This code base is now part of the concurrent-ruby gem

at https://github.com/ruby-concurrency/concurrent-ruby.

The code in this repository is no longer maintained.__

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'thread_safe'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install thread_safe

## Usage

```ruby

require 'thread_safe'

sa = ThreadSafe::Array.new # supports standard Array.new forms

sh = ThreadSafe::Hash.new # supports standard Hash.new forms

```

`ThreadSafe::Cache` also exists, as a hash-like object, and should have

much better performance characteristics esp. under high concurrency than

`ThreadSafe::Hash`. However, `ThreadSafe::Cache` is not strictly semantically

equivalent to a ruby `Hash` -- for instance, it does not necessarily retain

ordering by insertion time as `Hash` does. For most uses it should do fine

though, and we recommend you consider `ThreadSafe::Cache` instead of

`ThreadSafe::Hash` for your concurrency-safe hash needs. It understands some

options when created (depending on your ruby platform) that control some of the

internals - when unsure just leave them out:

```ruby

require 'thread_safe'

cache = ThreadSafe::Cache.new

```
