Am I right in thinking the work on native threads stopped. I can't even download the patch. Linux threads have been made posix compliant for kernel 2.6. Would the issue of native threading be good to look at again?

The Guile CVS HEAD version (aka the 1.7 series) has supprt for native POSIX threads. While threads are in 'Guile mode', they are restricted to cooperate their use of the global resources (such as the GC), but they are implemented using the POSIX threading API of the underlying platform. > Linux threads have been made posix compliant for kernel 2.6.

Yes, please try the Guile 1.7 series, maybe from ftp://ftp.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/pub/guile/snapshots/guile-core.unstable.tar.gz -- GPG: D5D4E405 - 2F9B BCCC 8527 692A 04E3 331E FAF8 226A D5D4 E405 _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
