For the following testing code,how to make the read thread can automatically be notified when the write thread finishes writing new data to the container.
In order to improve the performance of concurrent reading data, read lock and write lock are used in the programme,beacause of this,I feel difficult to implement both of threads communicate with each other.
Anybody can provide a solution to reach the objective? Please note the pre-condition: don't use another lock to replace my read-write lock,if so,concurrent performance will be reduced.That's not what I need.
Thanks a lot in advance.
