Dec 15, 2011 at 13:04	comment	added	vgru		@rotman: ok, my answer was based on your first example. If you do need to create this list from several places, using a separate class might make it more explicit. But you should then consider suggestions made by Slade and Jesse: I would not expose the mutable list to the outside world, if there is a chance that it may be iterated on a separate thread. The simplest way would be to change the list into a `Queue`, make it private, and expose a public `Add` method which should lock while enqueuing.
Dec 14, 2011 at 13:46	comment	added	rotman		But wait... I need to enqueue some actions from different places and in different moments and then start them from another so the code you provided is not enough. Of course, I can build a queue and process it using `ThreadPool` but don't you think that using `ActionQueue` is better idea?
Dec 14, 2011 at 13:39	comment	added	rotman		Oh, sorry - now I see that you put it in a single lambda :) You are right then. Thank you.
Dec 14, 2011 at 13:30	comment	added	rotman		And I thought that `ThreadPool` is used rather to do some work in parallel. Am I wrong? Does it execute actions one by one?
Dec 14, 2011 at 13:26	comment	added	rotman		I think that justification in using it is the possibility to reuse it and expand in the future. You think that isn't enough? :)
