NAME
threads::tbb::concurrent::item - lazy deep copy slot
SYNOPSIS
use threads::tbb;
#my $scalar :concurrent; # TODO
tie my $scalar, "threads::tbb::concurrent::item";
# this works:
$scalar = "foo";
my $item = $scalar; # safe
# never:
$array[0]->mutate;DESCRIPTION
The concurrent item is a single slot which is not duplicated when passed between threads. It is a way to access the lazy deep copy mechanism used by threads::tbb::concurrent implementations, free of the container.
It does not correspond to any formal TBB API, and should not be considered thread-safe when used in isolation.
This API should be considered EXPERIMENTAL. It probably needs altering to be safe, at the very minimum by cloning objects on the way in.
