This pull request adds
ngx_http_lua_ffi_shdict_store_when
which is used to define
set_when
andsafe_set_when
methods inngx.shared.DICT
.These methods are useful for avoiding race conditions between successive calls of
get
andset
.You pass
old_value
as well asvalue
toset_when
, and it changes the value only when the value for the key is still the same asold_value
.Adding this method is suggested in the comment by @doujiang24.
