[Bordeaux-threads-devel] with-timeout abstraction leaks a bit?
by Peter Seibel 25 Dec '09

25 Dec '09

I was using WITH-TIMEOUT the other day and it seems that it doesn't quite hide the underlying implementation quite enough: on SBCL it signals an SBCL-specific condition when it times out. Thus to handle the timeout you have to either handle that specific condition or something too broad (like CONDITION). Perhaps BT:WITH-TIMEOUT should handle the underlying condition and signal a BT-defined condition so this code can be written portably. I could provide a patch for SBCL (and probably Allegro) if folks think this is a good idea. -Peter -- Peter Seibel http://www.codersatwork.com/ http://www.gigamonkeys.com/blog/

[Bordeaux-threads-devel] XCVB patch for Bordeaux-Threads
by Faré 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Here is what I use to compile Bordeaux-Threads with XCVB. Is it possible to apply it upstream? [ François-René ÐVB Rideau | Reflection&Cybernethics | http://fare.tunes.org ] Aristocracy, n.: an intermediate social class - intermediate between a gang of pillaging enslavers and a bunch of idle decadents - along a slow degenerative process. Usage example: "public administration constitutes a national aristocracy, with its great robber barons and its lowly disowned squires."

[Bordeaux-threads-devel] No Thread Support on Darwin SBCL
by Curtis Schlak 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

I've just started developing in LISP, again, after some years away from it. I wanted to try using Hunchentoot which requires the Bordeaux Threads project. After asdf-installing the project, I REPLd (require :bordeaux-threads) and received the following message: WARNING: Either there is no Bordeaux-threads support for your implementation, or your implementation does not support threads therefore some features may not work. Feel free to implement it, or bug one of the maintainers to do so if your lisp supports threads at all. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5, SBCL 1.0.30, and Bordeaux-Threads 0.6.0. Does anyone know why I don't have thread support though it appears to have a "green" status on the project page? Sincerely, Curtis.

[Bordeaux-threads-devel] Basically, I suck (LW patch)
by Greg Pfeil 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Matt wrote this nice patch to add condition-variables for LispWorks, and I never got it merged. I'm gone for the weekend, then switching jobs next week, then gone in Pittsburgh, then to Europe. I'm afraid if it's left to me, this will never get in. The only thing from my perspective that should change is that the unit- test-lw-conditions function should be moved into the test suite (as it should work just fine for any impl) so everyone gets the benefit. Stelian has a much better view of the state of BT these days than I do.

[Bordeaux-threads-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Bordeaux-threads RPMs for Fedora
by Robert Uhl 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

I've packaged Bourdeaux-threads into RPMs for Fedora at: http://yum.octopodial-chrome.com/packages/cl-bordeaux-threads Probably the easiest thing to do is to install the octopodial-chrome package and then run 'yum install cl-bordeaux-threads.' -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim. --Edsger W.

Hi, Why `JOIN-THREAD' is not available for OpenMCL platform while there is a function like `JOIN-PROCESS'[1]. Am I missing something? Regards. [1] http://openmcl.clozure.com/manual/chapter6.7.html#f_join-process
