Thread Safety Guarantees

Topic: architecture.thread-safety

Immutable expressions enable thread-safe sharing and parallel processing without locks. Covers concurrency patterns and safety guarantees in MathHook.

Thread Safety Guarantees

This chapter covers internal implementation details of thread safety.

Immutability

All expressions are immutable after creation. This provides:

Thread-safe sharing: No data races
Lock-free operations: No synchronization overhead
Predictable behavior: No surprising mutations

Parallel Processing

Immutability enables efficient parallel processing:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
extern crate mathhook_book;
use mathhook_book::mathhook;
use mathhook::prelude::*;
let expressions = vec![/* many expressions */];
let simplified = parallel_bulk_simplify(&expressions);
}
