Along with the main thread, i have one more thread that receives data to write them in a file.
std::queue<std::vector<int>> dataQueue;
void setData(const std::vector<int>& data) {
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex);
dataQueue.push(data);
}
void write(const std::string& fileName) {
std::unique_ptr<std::ostream> ofs = std::unique_ptr<std::ostream>(new zstr::ofstream(fileName));
while (store) {
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex);
while (!dataQueue.empty()) {
std::vector<int>& data= dataQueue.front();
ofs->write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(data.data()), sizeof(data[0])*data.size());
dataQueue.pop();
}
}
}
}
setData is used by the main thread and write is actually the writing thread. I use std::lock_quard to avoid memory conflict but when locking on the writing thread, it slows down the main thread as it has to wait for the Queue to be unlocked. But i guess i can avoid this as the threads never act on the same element of the queue at the same time.
So i would like to do it lock-free but i don't really understand how i should implement it. I mean, how can i do it without locking anything ? moreover, if the writing thread is faster than the main thread, the queue might be empty most of the time, so it should somehow waits for new data instead of looping infinitly to check for non empty queue.
