Change the underlying storage type from
Value?to storingValue, with optional-specific operations moved to constrained extensions.This improves type safety by eliminating unnecessary optionality for non-optional types.
This stronger type constraint makes it more difficult for the struct to be misused. For instance in the current implementation the extension method
increment()will fail to increment if the user forgot to initialize theThreadSafeBoxwith a value. Now a value must be set initially before increment is called.Also this patch prevents a race condition in the
memoizemethods where the call to the memoizedbodywas not guarded by a lock which allowed multiple threads to call memoize at once and produce inconsistent results.Finally, fix the subscript setter so it works properly with
structs, as theif var valueand then value set will set the value on a copy, not on theself.underlyingstruct. Now that the type is no longer optional this unwrapping isn't necessary and we can set directly on the value.
