Re: [ICI] ICI multithreading

[Stavnitzky, J. <jst...@at...>]

The type of multi-threading that I need is not within a single ICI script (I think that is the thread() functionality), but outside of the interpreter.  Basically I have a C++ multithreaded application and I want to have each thread in my application have the ability to run different ICI functions at different times. There appears to be a section in the manual that is yet to be written on this. Are there any examples or tips or details on this?

Threads are well supported using thread().

But as I discovered the other week, calling sys.fork() from a
multithreaded app can easily cause deadlock.
