race condition |
|
| Description | A race condition occurs when two tasks try to act simultaneously on a resource - for example, if one program saves a file while another tries to read from the same file, the results are unpredictable. The second program could end up reading old data, new data, or a combination of both. To avoid race conditions, a locking mechanism can be introduced, SO that a file could be locked while it is being saved or read,, preventing other programs from interfering. Race conditions can also occur in networked environments, such as IRC networks. |
