This is an implementation of the SRFI-18 threading and synchronization library. The functions and variables described here are provided by
(use-modules (srfi srfi-18))
As a general rule, the data types and functions in this SRFI-18
implementation are compatible with the types and functions in Guile’s
core threading code. For example, mutexes created with the SRFI-18
make-mutex function can be passed to the built-in Guile
function lock-mutex (see Mutexes and Condition Variables),
and mutexes created with the built-in Guile function make-mutex
can be passed to the SRFI-18 function mutex-lock!. Cases in
which this does not hold true are noted in the following sections.
