minus-squarePlexSheep@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoYou mean mutex? Arc allows synchronous read only access by multiple threads, so it’s not a performance bottleneck. Locking a mutex would be one.
minus-squaretatterdemalion@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·22 hours agoArc is not free, and the extra atomic operations + heap allocations can become a bottleneck.
minus-squarePlexSheep@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 hours agoOh, I did not know that. Well, it makes sense that it has a heap allocation, as it becomes more or less global. Though not sure why the atomic operations are needed when the value inside is immutable.

minus-squaremholiv@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 day agoI mean it could be Mutex, or Rwlock or anything atomic. It’s just when I have to put stuff into an Arc<> to pass around I know trouble is coming.
