[Jscheme-user] synchronize

[Ken A. <kan...@bb...>]

Geoffrey asked about synchronized methods in JScheme.

A procedure with no arguments is a Java Runnable so you can create threads easily:

(.start (Thread. (lambda () (do-the-real-work...)))

There is a (synchronize) procedure that takes an object and a procedure of one argument:

(synchronize x (lambda (x) (do-horrible-side-effect x) ...))

The file elf/future.scm is a implementation of multilisp's future idea.
