I am confused with DispatchQueue and DispatchSemaphore.Like the following example:
let semaphore : DispatchSemaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value:1)
for i in 1...40 {
DispatchQueue.global().async{
semaphore.wait()
NSLog("......1-%d",i)
semaphore.signal()
}
}
I think it should print 1...40,actually, it only prints about 25, the result like the following:
2016-11-18 19:05:38.786 MyPlayground[7436:495171] ......1-1
2016-11-18 19:05:38.787 MyPlayground[7436:495175] ......1-2
......
2016-11-18 19:05:38.797 MyPlayground[7436:495258] ......1-23
2016-11-18 19:05:38.797 MyPlayground[7436:495244] ......1-24
What's the reason?
Because you are running it async, Playground finishes before all 40 iterations are complete. Add these 2 lines to the beginning or end of your code:
import PlaygroundSupport
PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true
