I am having very strange behavior in my Go code. The overall gist is that when I have
for {
if messagesRecieved == l {
break
}
select {
case result := <-results:
newWords[result.index] = result.word
messagesRecieved += 1
default:
// fmt.Printf("messagesRecieved: %v
", messagesRecieved)
if i != l {
request := Request{word: words[i], index: i, thesaurus_word: results}
requests <- request
i += 1
}
}
}
the program freezes and fails to advance, but when I uncomment out the fmt.Printf command, then the program works fine. You can see the entire code here. does anyone know what's causing this behavior?
