サンプルで学ぶ Go 言語:WaitGroups

To wait for multiple goroutines to finish, we can use a wait group.

package main
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.

    defer wg.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)
}
func main() {

This WaitGroup is used to wait for all the goroutines launched here to finish.

    var wg sync.WaitGroup

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.

    wg.Wait()
}
$ go run waitgroups.go
Worker 5 starting
Worker 3 starting
Worker 4 starting
Worker 1 starting
Worker 2 starting
Worker 4 done
Worker 1 done
Worker 2 done
Worker 5 done
Worker 3 done

The order of workers starting up and finishing is likely to be different for each invocation.
