It seems like you're interested in the topic of threads, particularly in the context of Apple's WWDC sessions. Here's some relevant information from the sessions:

  1. What's new in Xcode 16: This session introduces the thread performance checker, which helps identify runtime issues related to thread performance. It pinpoints the exact line of code causing issues, even if they don't reproduce locally. This tool is particularly useful for debugging and optimizing code execution on different threads. You can learn more about this feature in the session chapter titled "Thread performance checker" starting at 09:07.

  2. Migrate your app to Swift 6: This session discusses the importance of handling shared mutable state and data races in Swift 6. It emphasizes the need for data-race safety, which is verified at compile time in Swift 6. The session also covers how to manage global variables and ensure they are thread-safe, which is crucial for avoiding data races. You can explore these topics in the chapters "Shared mutable state in global variables" starting at 13:05 and "Delegate callbacks and concurrency" starting at 19:29.

  3. A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design: This session highlights the importance of avoiding data races and introduces the concept of "sendable" values, which protect state from concurrent accesses. It also explains how actors in Swift can help manage shared mutable state safely. The chapter "Concurrency" starting at 18:33 provides more insights into these concurrency features.

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of how Apple is addressing thread management and data-race safety in their development tools and languages.
