// Go's _select_ lets you wait on multiple channel
// operations. Combining goroutines and channels with
// select is powerful feature of Go.
package main
import "time"
import "fmt"
func main() {
// For our example we'll select accross two channels.
c1 := make(chan string)
c2 := make(chan string)
// This third channel will indicate when we're done
// and can exit the program.
d := make(chan bool, 1)
// The first two channels will receive a value after
// some amount of time, to simulate e.g. blocking RPC
// operations executing in concurrent goroutines.
go func() {
time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
c1 <- "one"
}()
go func() {
time.Sleep(time.Second * 2)
c2 <- "two"
}()
// We'll use `select` to await both of these values
// simultaneously, printing each one as it arrives.
// Once we've received both, we'll send a value to the
// `d` channel indicating that we're ready to proceed.
go func() {
for i := 0; i < 2; i++ {
select {
case msg1 := <-c1:
fmt.Println("received", msg1)
case msg2 := <-c2:
fmt.Println("received", msg2)
}
}
d <- true
}()
// Since all other code is running in concurrent
// goroutines, we'll executing a blocking receive
// here to await completion of our example.
