To wait for multiple goroutines to finish, we can
use a wait group.
|
|
|
|
|
import (
"fmt"
"sync"
"time"
)
|
This is the function we’ll run in every goroutine.
Note that a WaitGroup must be passed to functions by
pointer.
|
func worker(id int, wg *sync.WaitGroup) {
|
On return, notify the WaitGroup that we’re done.
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("Worker %d starting\n", id)
|
Sleep to simulate an expensive task.
|
time.Sleep(time.Second)
fmt.Printf("Worker %d done\n", id)
}
|
|
|
This WaitGroup is used to wait for all the
goroutines launched here to finish.
|
|
Launch several goroutines and increment the WaitGroup
counter for each.
|
for i := 1; i <= 5; i++ {
wg.Add(1)
go worker(i, &wg)
}
|
Block until the WaitGroup counter goes back to 0;
all the workers notified they’re done.
