Hi @steveklabnik, I would like to work on this. Would you be available for mentoring?

Hey @justohdezromera !

So, yes and no. That is, I can help mechanically, but I am not sure if a chapter on arc fits into the current structure or not, nor where. Maybe @marioidival has opinions.

[justohdezromera]

In my opinion, I would find it coherent since I see that Arc is a struct type. Even it is a Thread related type, still a type. Furthermore, it could be placed just after the Rc chapter, since they are kind of counter-elements.

[steveklabnik]

Ah yes, if there's already stuff about RC, honestly, adding arc to it would probably make the most sense.

Hi @steveklabnik, I do have this repo modified to solve this issue but I am not aware of how to upload it here, I mean mechanically. I am not sure if I have to make a push to the master branch or how it is really done, may I have some clarification here, please?

edit: While I was pressing the Comment button I saw down there the link to the contributing guidelines, so there I finally saw how it is done :). I will make a pull request for the master branch them. The changes I made were:

• Edit the summary to add the Arc chapter.
• Create and edit the Arc chapter inside the std library chapter.
• Edit Rc chapter to reference Arc as an implementation in std::sync.

Sure thing!

So, on GitHub, the main way that you send in updates is by sending a pull request, that is, a request to pull changes from your repository into the main repository. Here's GitHub's docs on how to start one: https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-pull-requests

But! I can also explain. So, ....... oh wait, you just edited your comment, so looks like you know what's going on. Give it a shot and let me know :) If you get stuck, I can help!

[justohdezromera]

I think I did the request by now, I forked the repo and updated it privately, then requested the merge to the original repo. Was that OK? :)

[steveklabnik]

Looks like you got the mechanics right, yep! I don't have time to review right now, but I or someone else will get to it. Thank you!

May be this issue can now be closed?
