Re: [Sbcl-help] [Sbcl-devel] SBCL 0.9.18 compiled with threads on Intel Mac OS X crashes.

[Cyrus H. <ch...@bo...>]

Yes, there is occasional active development on threads on intel macs.  
My latest push to get threads working properly involves using mach  
exception handlers instead of BSD signals for SIGILL and SIGBUS, but  
this alone doesn't fix the problems (or perhaps introduces new ones).  
If you're serious about helping out, looking for developers on #lisp  
on freenode would probably be the first thing to do. Documenting what  
doesn't work for you and how it fails would also be helpful. The  
easiest way to demonstrate broken-ness is to run the  
threads.impure.lisp tests, but I'm sure there are other scenarios  
that break as well.
