Preventing Data Races in the Swift Concurrency Model

Preventing Data Races in the Swift Concurrency Model

One of the goals of the concurrency effort is to prevent data races. This document describes the approach taken to preventing data races overall, by categorizing the sources of data races and describing how they are addressed with other proposals in the Swift Concurrency effort.

Data races

A data race occurs when two threads access the same memory concurrently and at least one of the accesses can change the value. Within the safe subset of Swift (e.g., ignoring the use of UnsafeMutablePointer and related types), the memory in question is always a stored property. There are several different categories of stored properties that need to be considered for data races:

  • Global and static stored properties:
Say you have a list of a random hashable type (the same type throughout), in an arbitrary order.
How do you find the most common item in the list (along with its count) after the first instance of a given item?
Examples:
[1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 1], 2 -> (4, 2)
[1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 1], 1 -> (1, 3)
["red", "green", "blue", "green", "blue"], "green" -> ("blue", 2)
What we're really looking for here is not just a working solution, but well-crafted, idiomatic Swift.
We want to see an API that fits with Swift APIs, with clear separation of concerns and well-named functions and variables.
