要添加返回函数，你可以这样做:

func synchronize<T>(lockObj: AnyObject!, closure: ()->T) -> T
{
  objc_sync_enter(lockObj)
  var retVal: T = closure()
  objc_sync_exit(lockObj)
  return retVal
}

随后，你可以调用它使用:

func importantMethod(...) -> Bool {
  return synchronize(self) {
    if(feelLikeReturningTrue) { return true }
    // do other things
    if(feelLikeReturningTrueNow) { return true }
    // more things
    return whatIFeelLike ? true : false
  }
}

在2018年WWDC的“理解崩溃和崩溃日志”会议414中，他们展示了以下使用DispatchQueues与sync的方法。

在swift 4中应该像下面这样:

class ImageCache {
    private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "sync queue")
    private var storage: [String: UIImage] = [:]
    public subscript(key: String) -> UIImage? {
        get {
          return queue.sync {
            return storage[key]
          }
        }
        set {
          queue.sync {
            storage[key] = newValue
          }
        }
    }
}

无论如何，您也可以使用带屏障的并发队列使读取更快。同步和异步读取同时执行，写入新值等待前一个操作完成。

class ImageCache {
    private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "with barriers", attributes: .concurrent)
    private var storage: [String: UIImage] = [:]

    func get(_ key: String) -> UIImage? {
        return queue.sync { [weak self] in
            guard let self = self else { return nil }
            return self.storage[key]
        }
    }

    func set(_ image: UIImage, for key: String) {
        queue.async(flags: .barrier) { [weak self] in
            guard let self = self else { return }
            self.storage[key] = image
        }
    }
}

总之，这里给出了更常见的方法，包括返回值或void和throw

import Foundation

extension NSObject {


    func synchronized<T>(lockObj: AnyObject!, closure: () throws -> T) rethrows ->  T
    {
        objc_sync_enter(lockObj)
        defer {
            objc_sync_exit(lockObj)
        }

        return try closure()
    }


}

您可以创建propertyWrapper synchronized

这里是NSLock下罩的例子。你可以使用任何你想要的同步GCD, posix_locks等

@propertyWrapper public struct Synchronised<T> {
    private let lock = NSLock()

    private var _wrappedValue: T
    public var wrappedValue: T {
        get {
            lock.lock()
            defer {
                lock.unlock()
            }
            return _wrappedValue
        }
        set {
            lock.lock()
            defer {
                lock.unlock()
            }
            _wrappedValue = newValue
        }
    }

    public init(wrappedValue: T) {
        self._wrappedValue = wrappedValue
    }
}

@Synchronised var example: String = "testing"

斯威夫特4

在Swift 4中，你可以使用gcd调度队列来锁定资源。

class MyObject {
    private var internalState: Int = 0
    private let internalQueue: DispatchQueue = DispatchQueue(label:"LockingQueue") // Serial by default

    var state: Int {
        get {
            return internalQueue.sync { internalState }
        }

        set (newState) {
            internalQueue.sync { internalState = newState }
        }
    }
} 

另一种方法是创建一个超类，然后继承它。这样你可以更直接地使用GCD

class Lockable {
    let lockableQ:dispatch_queue_t

    init() {
        lockableQ = dispatch_queue_create("com.blah.blah.\(self.dynamicType)", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL)
    }

    func lock(closure: () -> ()) {
        dispatch_sync(lockableQ, closure)
    }
}


class Foo: Lockable {

    func boo() {
        lock {
            ....... do something
        }
    }
