for testing reasons I start only 1 process. One given argument is an array that shall be changed from that process.
class Engine():
Ready = Value('i', False)
def movelisttoctypemovelist(self, movelist):
ctML = []
for zug in movelist:
ctZug = ctypeZug()
ctZug.VonReihe = zug.VonReihe
ctZug.VonLinie = zug.VonLinie
ctZug.NachReihe = zug.NachReihe
ctZug.NachLinie = zug.NachLinie
ctZug.Bewertung = zug.Bewertung
ctML.append(ctZug)
return ctML
def findbestmove(self, board, settings, enginesettings):
print ("Computer using", multiprocessing.cpu_count(),"Cores.")
movelist = Array(ctypeZug, [], lock = True)
movelist = self.movelisttoctypemovelist(board.movelist)
bd = board.boardtodictionary()
process = []
for i in range(1):
p = Process(target=self.calculatenullmoves, args=(bd, movelist, i, self.Ready))
process.append(p)
p.start()
for p in process:
p.join()
self.printctypemovelist(movelist, settings)
print ("Ready:", self.Ready.value)
def calculatenullmoves(self, boarddictionary, ml, processindex, ready):
currenttime = time()
print ("Process", processindex, "begins to work...")
board = Board()
board.dictionarytoboard(boarddictionary)
...
ml[processindex].Bewertung = 2.4
ready.value = True
print ("Process", processindex, "finished work in", time()-currenttime, "sec")
def printctypemovelist(self, ml):
for zug in ml:
print (zug.VonReihe, zug.VonLinie, zug.NachReihe, zug.NachLinie, zug.Bewertung)
I try to write 2.4 directly in the list, but no changing is shown when calling "printctypemovelist". I set "Ready" to True and it works. I used information from http://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html#module-multiprocessing.sharedctypes
I hope someone can find my mistake, if it is too difficult to read, please let me know.
