# ThreadSafeVariable
## The problem
Imagine you have class like this
```
class A(object):
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
a = A(3)
print(a.x)
```
``a.x`` is a member variable of object ``a``. It is not thread safe. This means that if one thread changes `a.x``, all other threads see the new value. You can avoid this using a thread local object:
```
import threading
class A(object):
def __init__(self, x):
self.local = threading.local()
self.local.x
a = A(3)
print(a.local.x)
```
This works but has two downsides:
- you have changed the syntax
- even if a is accessible from other threads, a.local.x is only defined for the one thread that created the object
The ThreadSafeVariable module helps solve this problem and preserves the original syntax.
## The solution
We change the code in the first example by declaring which variables should the thrad safe:
```
from threadsafevariable import ThreadSafeVariable
class A(object):
x = ThreadSafeVariable() # we add this line
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
a = A(3)
print(a.x)
```
We have preserved the syntax for the first example but a.x is now a thread local variable.
In addition we can do:
```
iceblock = ThreadSafeVariable.freeze()
```
This will store a snapshot all ThreadSafeVariable(s) of all objects defined in the current thread.
Then for any other thread:
```
ThreadSafeVariable.restore(iceblock)
```
will restore all variables of all objects in this thread to the value stores in iceblock.
