One thing that puzzles me -- I checked old versions of ABCL back to 1.0.0, and none gave an indefinite wait for (sleep 0). Do you remember why you changed (sleep 0) to (sleep 0.01) in thread-yield in February 2011? I changed it back to (sleep 0) in the pull request, but I didn't realize I was undoing your change until this moment.
As far as I understand it, it is a change in the underlying JVM.
Blame SUNW^H^H^H^HORCL.
bt:thread-yield is going to have rare use on implementations with pre-emptive threads such as ABCL, and it's difficult to contrive a case where it matters. I would have left it at (sleep 0) except that I don't know why the 2011 change was made. What was the JVM change and is it relevant now? _______________________________________________ Armedbear-devel mailing list Armedbear-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/armedbear-devel
