i have a (perhaps stupid) question:
im using 2 threads, one is writing floats and one is reading this floats permanently. my question is, what could happen worse when i dont synchronize them? it would be no problem if some of the values would not be correct because they switch just a little every write operation. im running the application this way at the moment and dont have any problems so i want to know what could happen worse?
a read/write conflict would cause a number like 12345 which is written to 54321 and red at the same time appear for example as 54345 ? or could happen something worse?
(i dont want to use synchronization to keep the code as fast as possible)
The worst that could happen is that your reader thread never sees anything your writer thread has written. There is no guarantee that memory written to by one thread will ever be seen by another thread without some form of synchronization.
