Thread support
Posted Sep 4, 2003 13:04 UTC (Thu) by metacircles (guest, #8895)Parent article: SBCL 0.8.3 released
Note that the thread support is officially considered "experimental", and work on it continues, but even in this state it's more use than not (stable for a web server tested to ~50 dynamic page requests/second, for example)
Volunteers interested in working on the thread-safety issues that remain in the code are warmly invited to contact the SBCL developers: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sbcl-devel
(Thread support is based on the Linux clone() syscall, so should work identically on 2.4 and 2.6. Gory details of why LinuxThreads is not appropriate available on request)
