Sample Extension Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Don Porter (dgp) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: TEA: --enable-threads by default ? Initial Comment: Most extensions that are multi-interp safe ought to be multi-thread safe fairly trivially. Seems that having the --enable-threads option enabled by default for TEA extensions would be good. Then those few extensions which do make the choice to remain unsafe for multi-threading would have to force the -disable-threads -- making them the odd extensions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jeffrey Hobbs (hobbs) Date: 2004-08-19 12:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=72656 The warning is that you aren't really thread-safe until you run it on a threaded Tcl. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2004-08-19 11:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 It's a bit strange that TEA 3.1 posts a warning during configure whenever one tries a --enable-threads configuration on an extension while Tcl was configured --disable-threads. This should be a safe combination; not clear to me what the warning is for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2004-08-19 11:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 TEA 3.1 appears to make --enable-threads the default when it detects configuration against a --enable-threads Tcl. That's not quite what's requested here, but it's a big step in that direction. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2004-04-19 15:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 A TEA package can currently achieve this by changing the line TEA_ENABLE_THREADS in configure.in to TEA_ENABLE_THREADS([yes]) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=360894&aid=937970&group_id=10894 |
