I think the combinations of things a thread can block on will make it too hard to be sure a deadlock is occurring. There might even be some weird apparent deadlock that's meant to be broken by a signal handler cancelling one thread or something. > mutexes can be recursive Yep, I think that's friendliest. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
