Under strict concurrency checking, every global or static variable must be either isolated to a global actor or be both immutable and of `Sendable` type.
115
+
Global and static variables are prone to data races because they provide memory that can be accessed from any program context. Strict concurrency checking in Swift 5.10 prevents data races on global and static variables by requiring them to be either:
116
+
117
+
1. isolated to a global actor, or
118
+
2. immutable and of `Sendable` type.
119
+
120
+
For example:
116
121
117
122
```swift
118
123
var mutableGlobal =1
119
124
// warning: var 'mutableGlobal' is not concurrency-safe because it is non-isolated global shared mutable state
120
125
// (unless it is top-level code which implicitly isolates to @MainActor)
//warning: static property 'immutableNonsendable' is not concurrency-safe because it is not either conforming to 'Sendable' or isolated to a global actor
136
+
staticletimmutableSendable=10
137
+
//okay; 'immutableSendable' is safe to access concurrently because it's immutable and 'Int' is 'Sendable'
129
138
}
130
139
```

The attribute`nonisolated(unsafe)` can be used to annotate a global variable (or any form of storage) to disable static checking of data isolation, but note that without correct implementation of a synchronization mechanism to achieve data isolation, dynamic run-time analysis from exclusivity enforcement or tools such as Thread Sanitizer could still identify failures.
141
+
A new`nonisolated(unsafe)`modifier can be used to annotate a global or static variable to suppress data isolation violations when manual synchronization is provided:
133
142
134
143
```swift
135
-
nonisolated(unsafe) var global: String
144
+
// This global is only set in one part of the program
145
+
nonisolated(unsafe) var global: String!
136
146
```
137
147
148
+
`nonisolated(unsafe)` can be used on any form of storage, including stored properties and local variables, as a more granular opt out for `Sendable` checking, eliminating the need for `@unchecked Sendable` wrapper types in many use cases:
149
+
150
+
```swift
151
+
importDispatch
152
+
153
+
// 'MutableData' is not 'Sendable'
154
+
classMutableData { ... }
155
+
156
+
finalclassMyModel: Sendable {
157
+
privatelet queue =DispatchQueue(...)
158
+
// 'protectedState' is manually isolated by 'queue'
Note that without correct implementation of a synchronization mechanism to achieve data isolation, dynamic run-time analysis from exclusivity enforcement or tools such as the Thread Sanitizer could still identify failures.
