Interlocked hanging game?

Question

Just attempting to use Interlocked.Increment(ref threads) and it just hangs my game.

public static int threads;

...

Interlocked.Increment(ref threads);

Using System.Threads also.

I've moved it into the main thread and out of it, can't seem to get it to work anywhere. Is this just Unity causing this?

Answer 1

The .Net Interlocked.Increment doesn't actually lock anything (at least it definitely doesn't for an int); it only ensures the increment happens atomically.

Either it is not actually the change causing your problem or you've got another Interlocked imported into your namespaces.
