rustHow to use a Rust HashMap in a multithreaded environment?
Rust HashMap can be used in a multithreaded environment by using the Arc
type. Arc
stands for atomic reference count and is a type of pointer that allows multiple threads to access the same data. An example of using Arc
with a HashMap is shown below:
use std::sync::Arc;
use std::collections::HashMap;
let map: HashMap<i32, i32> = HashMap::new();
let arc_map = Arc::new(map);
// Spawn threads
for i in 0..10 {
let arc_map = arc_map.clone();
thread::spawn(move || {
// Access the map here
let mut map = arc_map.lock().unwrap();
map.insert(i, i * 2);
});
}
The code above creates a HashMap and wraps it in an Arc
type. It then spawns 10 threads which access the map and insert a key-value pair.
Parts of the code:
Arc::new(map)
: Creates anArc
type from themap
HashMap.arc_map.clone()
: Clones theArc
type so that each thread can access it.arc_map.lock().unwrap()
: Locks theArc
type so that only one thread can access it at a time.map.insert(i, i * 2)
: Inserts a key-value pair into the map.
