[M3devel] threading on Windows?

[Coleburn, Randy]

Mika:

Sorry, but my Windows build is broken.  Jay seems to indicate he is working on a "fix" and that this fix is relatively simple, but so far no solution has been checked in.

I've been wanting to run your program ever since you first checked it in, but that was about same time the HEAD branch update introduced a build problem.  Problem is an unresolved symbol during link.

As soon as I can get the build problem resolved, I'll try out your test program.

Regards,
Randy Coleburn

Hi m3devel,

I'm just curious if anyone out there who's running CM3 on Windows has had
a chance to try my thread testing program yet.  Current status on Unix
(Linux, FreeBSD) appears to be that there are problems in pthreads (but
I think only under heavy load) and that user threading works perfectly.
So I now wonder how things are on the third threading platform (Windows).
The thread testing program is at m3-libs/m3core/tests/thread .

(Note however that there is a memory leak in TRY-EXCEPT in the current
head so don't try to update everything to the CVS head.  The previous
release should be OK.)

Also has anyone else noticed that debugging information has recently
broken?  m3gdb is very unhappy on all platforms for me...
