How do I implement thread safety in a thread pool?

To implement thread safety in a thread pool, you can use synchronization mechanisms like locks or concurrent data structures.

Can you give me an example of using locks for thread safety?

Sure! You can use a mutex lock to protect shared resources. For instance, wrap your resource access code with lock and unlock calls.

What about using concurrent data structures instead?

Using concurrent data structures like ConcurrentHashMap in Java can help manage access without explicit locks, improving performance.

Are there any performance trade-offs I should be aware of?

Yes, using locks can lead to contention and reduce performance, while concurrent structures may have overhead but allow better scalability.
