put the code from:

https://tour.dlang.org/tour/en/multithreading/synchronization-sharing

in file, and put unittest block from safePrint() to main()

as here:

https://github.com/mingwugmail/dlang_tour/blob/master/spawn_in_unittest.d#L33

spawn in unitest: why this compiler error? confusing message

the function defined in unittest become a delegate? how to work-around this?

just add the keyword static to the functions

Tried, still doesn't work:

$ dmd -unittest spawn_in_unittest.d
spawn_in_unittest.d(57): Error: static function spawn_in_unittest.__unittest_L33_C1.threadProducer cannot access frame of function spawn_in_unittest.__unittest_L33_C1
spawn_in_unittest.d(74): Error: static function spawn_in_unittest.__unittest_L33_C1.threadConsumer cannot access frame of function spawn_in_unittest.__unittest_L33_C1

oh, need to add static to all the function the spawned function calls.

static void safePrint(T...)(T args)
