📛 NAME

Concurrent::SynchronizedDelegator < SimpleDelegator

This class provides a trivial way to synchronize all calls to a given object by wrapping it with a Delegator that performs Monitor#enter/exit calls around the delegated #send. Example:

array = [] # not thread-safe on many impls
array = SynchronizedDelegator.new([]) # thread-safe

A simple Monitor provides a very coarse-grained way to synchronize a given object, in that it will cause synchronization for methods that have no need for it, but this is a trivial way to get thread-safety where none may exist currently on some implementations.

This class is currently being considered for inclusion into stdlib, via https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8556
