Hey all, what is the best way of implementing functionality similar to JVM Collections.synchronizedList only by using Kotlin/Native? Thanks!

Data access is guaranteed to be from one thread only in Kotlin/Native, so this would have no point.

Stately has 2 basic ways to do this. The iso collections linked above is probably the better of the two. There’s an older collection model I wrote with AtomicReference, but the performance is generally worse.

Thanks for helpful advice. Just to check my understanding - none of these iso collections are supposed to be used in platform specific modules, they can be accessed & they will only work inside commonMain module - is this correct?

You could use them in just native, if that’s what you’re looking to do.
