MSDN Example of handling an exception from the TPL - Is this a race condition?
- by David
I'm looking at the TPL exception handling example from MSDN @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd537614(v=VS.100).aspx
The basic form of the code is:
Task task1 = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { throw new IndexOutOfRangeException(); });
try
{
task1.Wait();
}
catch (AggregateException ae)
{
throw ae.Flatten();
}
My question is: Is this a race condition? What happens if task1 throws before the try has executed? Am I missing something that stops this being a race?
Shouldn't it be written like this instead:
try
{
Task task1 = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { throw new IndexOutOfRangeException(); });
task1.Wait();
}
catch (AggregateException ae)
{
throw ae.Flatten();
}
