# num_threads
|
2
|
+
|
3
|
+
A simple short-hand for running a block of Ruby code in multiple concurrent threads.
|
4
|
+
|
5
|
+
``` ruby
|
6
|
+
array = Array.new(10)
|
7
|
+
|
8
|
+
10.threads do
|
9
|
+
array.pop
|
10
|
+
# interesting stuff in here
|
11
|
+
end
|
12
|
+
```
|
13
|
+
|
14
|
+
## Huh?
|
15
|
+
|
16
|
+
Call the `threads` method on a `Fixnum` and pass it a block. It spawns that many threads, runs the block, then calls `Thread#join` on each thread to wait for it to finish.
|
17
|
+
|
18
|
+
## How is this useful?
|
19
|
+
|
20
|
+
I was writing a lot of simple example code that spawned a few threads for [Working With Ruby Threads](http://workingwithrubythreads.com/). I got sick of writing this code:
|
21
|
+
|
22
|
+
``` ruby
|
23
|
+
threads = []
|
24
|
+
|
25
|
+
10.times do
|
26
|
+
threads << Thread.new do
|
27
|
+
# interesting stuff in here
|
28
|
+
end
|
29
|
+
end
|
30
|
+
|
31
|
+
threads.each(&:join)
|
32
|
+
```
|
33
|
+
|
34
|
+
The `interesting stuff` is hidden in too many layers of boilerplate. I wanted to write this:
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
``` ruby
|
37
|
+
10.threads do
|
38
|
+
# interesting stuff in here
|
39
|
+
end
|
40
|
+
```
|
41
|
+
|
42
|
+
These two code examples are equivalent. That's the whole point of the gem. Now the interesting stuff is easier to see with less boilerplate surrounding it.
|
43
|
+
|
44
|
+
I use this for writing example code. I imagine could also be useful in writing one-off scripts.
