Paul, Could we add something like the following near the top of the extra/tk_octave README file? Most of it is from an email that you sent me. That way people wont be like me and compile octave with pthreads and install tk_octave only to find that it really isn't a very good solution. -Mark ====================== Warning: tk_octave is mostly unsupported. Probably a better solution is to use extra/soctcl from octave-forge. If you decide to pursue tk_octave, please bear in mind that the code is not safe as it is currently written. Since octave's reference counting classes do not use semaphores, there is a small window in which a task switch could delete an array in octave while tcl wanted to access it. |
