Working on a 2nd simple webserver in D. However I am facing a problem with some threading. I want the receiving of connections to happen in a 2nd thread, but after adding the connections to the collection it seems like the receive thread never loops through them, as if no connections were ever added. However I have checked and it is added.

The thread for receiving is also working as I have checked if code outside of the foreach loop works and it does, so it's probably a problem with the collection.

This makes me assume it's a concurrency issue and I'm not sure how to fix it.

I'm using an associative array for the connections. Class[int] is the format I'm using.

You can view my code here:

If anyone knows the solution to this, it would be appreciated. I can't seem to figure it out.

Possibly try marking Connections as shared. I can't compile your example because it's missing import statements.

Thanks. It worked! :)

Connections is in thread local storage by default. If you want it to be global across threads, you have to mark it shared or __gshared.
