Simultaneous accesses to 0x1c0a7f0f8, but modification requires exclusive access error on Xcode 9 beta 4
my project uses both Objective-C and Swift code. When a user logs in, it calls a set of apis for user preference, I have a DataCoordinator.swift class which schedules the API operation and I make this calls from UserDetailViewController.m class to load user preferences. This use to work fine before I migrated my code to Swift 4 using Xcode 9 beta 4. Now when I login it crashes by giving me this error in my DataCoordinator class. Below is a sample of my DataCoordinator and Viewcontroller class.
DataCoordinator.swift
import UIKit
@objcMembers
class DataCoordinator: NSObject {
//MARK:- Private
fileprivate var user = myDataStore.sharedInstance().user
fileprivate var preferenceFetchOperations = [FetchOperation]()
fileprivate func scheduleFetchOperation(_ operation:FetchOperation, inFetchOperations operations:inout [FetchOperation]) {
guard operations.index(of: operation) == nil else { return }
operations.append(operation)
}
fileprivate func completeFetchOperation(_ fetchOperation:FetchOperation, withError error:Error?, andCompletionHandler handler:@escaping FetchCompletionHandler) {
func removeOperation(_ operation:FetchOperation, fromOperations operations:inout [FetchOperation]) {
if operations.count > 0 {
operations.remove(at: operations.index(of: fetchOperation)!)
handler(error)
}
}
if preferenceFetchOperations.contains(fetchOperation) {
removeOperation(fetchOperation, fromOperations: &preferenceFetchOperations)
}
}
fileprivate func schedulePreferencesFetchOperation(_ serviceName:String, fetch:@escaping FetchOperationBlock){
let operation = FetchOperation(name: serviceName, fetch: fetch);
scheduleFetchOperation(operation, inFetchOperations: &preferenceFetchOperations)
}
fileprivate func runOperationsIn(_ fetchOperations:inout [FetchOperation]) {
for var operation in fetchOperations {
guard operation.isActivated == false else { continue }
operation.isActivated = true
operation.execute()
}
}
//MARK:- Non-Private
typealias FetchCompletionHandler = (_ error:Error?)->Void
var numberOfPreferencesFetchCalls:Int {
get { return preferenceFetchOperations.count }
}
// MARK: -
func fetchPreferences(_ completionHandler:@escaping FetchCompletionHandler) -> Void {

}
schedulePreferencesFetchOperation("com.fetchPreferences.type1") {[unowned self] (operation:FetchOperation) in
WebServiceManager.getType1Detail(for: user) {[unowned self] (error) in
self.completeFetchOperation(operation, withError: error, andCompletionHandler: completionHandler)
}
}
schedulePreferencesFetchOperation("com.fetchPreferences.type2") {[unowned self] (operation:FetchOperation) in
WebServiceManager.getType2Detail(for: user) {[unowned self] (error) in
self.completeFetchOperation(operation, withError: error, andCompletionHandler: completionHandler)
}
}
schedulePreferencesFetchOperation("com.fetchPreferences.type3") {[unowned self] (operation:FetchOperation) in
WebServiceManager.getType3Detail(for: user) {[unowned self] (error) in

}
}
}
}
// MARK:- Fetch Operation Struct
private typealias FetchOperationBlock = (_ operation:FetchOperation)->Void
private struct FetchOperation:Hashable {
fileprivate var runToken = 0
fileprivate let fetchBlock:FetchOperationBlock
let name:String!
var isActivated:Bool {
get {
return runToken == 0 ? false : true
}
mutating set {
if runToken == 0 && newValue == true {
runToken = 1
}
}
}
fileprivate var hashValue: Int {
get {
return name.hashValue
}
}
func execute() -> Void {
fetchBlock(self)
}
init (name:String, fetch:@escaping FetchOperationBlock) {
self.name = name
self.fetchBlock = fetch
}
}
private func ==(lhs: FetchOperation, rhs: FetchOperation) -> Bool {
return lhs.hashValue == rhs.hashValue
}
//This is how I call it in my viewcontrollers viewDidLoad method
__weak UserDetailViewController *weakSelf = self;
[self.dataCoordinator fetchPreferences:^(NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (error == nil) {
[weakSelf didFetchPrefrences];
}
else {
// handle error
}
}];
//completion response
- (void)didFetchPrefrences {
//when api calls complete load data
if (self.dataCoordinator.numberOfPreferencesFetchCalls == 0) {
//Load details
}
}
I'm not sure how to proceed on this, I saw a bug report at https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-5119 but it seems to be fixed in Xcode 9 beta 3. Any help is appreciated
Solution 1:
I think this 'bug' may be a Swift 4 'feature', specifically something they call 'Exclusive access to Memory'.
Check out this WWDC video. Around the 50 minute mark, the long-haired speaker explains it.

You could try turning the thread sanitizer off in your scheme settings if you're happy to ignore it. However, the debugger is trying to tell you about a subtle threading issue so it's probably a better use of your time to try to figure out why you've got something writing to your array at the same time it's being read from.
Solution 2:
Under the target's Build Settings. Select No Enforcement
