In the data-race example, the commented out code that is shown as the fix does not compile:
// Mutex that protects the data vector, and then we spawn three threads
//that each acquire a lock on the mutex and modify an element of the vector.
use std::sync::Mutex;
use std::thread;
fn main() {
let data = Mutex::new(vec![1, 2, 3]);
let handles: Vec<_> = (0..3).map(|i| {
let data = data.clone();
thread::spawn(move || {
let mut data = data.lock().unwrap();
data[i] += 1;
})
}).collect();
for handle in handles {
handle.join().unwrap();
}
println!("{:?}", data);
}
This fails to compile with the error:
error[E0599]: no method named `clone` found for struct `std::sync::Mutex<T>` in the current scope

The reason is that Mutex does not implement Clone.
Claude tells me that the correct fix is to use Arc to wrap the Mutex:
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
use std::thread;
fn main() {
let data = Arc::new(Mutex::new(vec![1, 2, 3]));
let mut handles = vec![];
for i in 0..3 {
let data_clone = Arc::clone(&data);
let handle = thread::spawn(move || {
let mut d = data_clone.lock().unwrap();
d[i] += 1;
});
handles.push(handle);
}
for handle in handles {
handle.join().unwrap();
}
println!("{:?}", data); // [2, 3, 4]
}
When run I get the output:
Mutex { data: [2, 3, 4], poisoned: false, .. }
