I???m writing a TCP server app ATM. It has one thread per client. Some of the clients want to be notified if the internal state changes, while others are happily chatting with the server, possible modifying the internal state. What I need now is a way for the chatting thread to signal ???anyone interested??? that the state has changed.
Did you consider using STM for thread synchronisation and communication? STM uses change notifications (or something similar) internally to implement the "retry" operation. I might be just what you need, but more high level. Best regards Tomek
