I can't think of any, right now. The question is not whether to execute a async in a thread or not, the question is only, in which thread. A thread-independent wouldn't care in what thread it is executed so it is OK to run it in the thread that has marked it. -- GPG: D5D4E405 - 2F9B BCCC 8527 692A 04E3 331E FAF8 226A D5D4 E405 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
