Hi Mark,

Are you sure? According to this article: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15048170/difference-between-thread-yield-and-thread-sleep#answers , there's no stable Yield implementation across platforms on Java. Do we really want to provide platform defined behaviour?

Bye,

Erik.

ABCL should implement a THREADS:YIELD primitive mapping directly to
java.lang.Thread.yield().

In the intermin, impelement bt:thread-yield as

        (java:jcall "yield" (java:jstatic "currentThread" "java.lang.Thread”))
