How to use runtime.LockOSThread() to bind a Goroutine to a specific OS thread?

The runtime.LockOSThread() function in Go is used to bind a Goroutine to a specific OS thread. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to ensure that a Goroutine always runs on the same thread, independent of other Goroutines.

To use runtime.LockOSThread(), you need to follow these steps:

Import the runtime package at the beginning of your Go file:

import "runtime"

Call runtime.LockOSThread() in the Goroutine that you want to bind to a specific OS thread. This ensures that subsequent Goroutine executions for the same Goroutine will always be on the same thread:

go func() {
    runtime.LockOSThread()
    // Goroutine code...
}()

It is important to note that you need to call runtime.UnlockOSThread() to unlock the Goroutine when you're finished. This is necessary to ensure that the Goroutine can be scheduled normally again when appropriate. You can use defer to ensure that the unlocking happens no matter how the Goroutine exits:

go func() {
    runtime.LockOSThread()
    defer runtime.UnlockOSThread()

    // Goroutine code...
}()

By binding a Goroutine to a specific OS thread using runtime.LockOSThread(), you can control the execution behavior of a Goroutine and ensure that it always runs on the same thread.
