Hi,
For those of you who want to try it, LuaThreads 1.0-work is available for
download at
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/luathreads
This is a pre-release, meant to be tested by those who want to test it.
Here is a quote from the manual:
Introduction
LuaThreads enables the Lua programmer to create concurrent Lua
scripts, in which several threads of execution coordinately perform
different tasks in parallel. The library runs both on Unix systems
supporting the pthreads standard and on Win32 systems.
The functionality is provided in two parts: routines needed by Lua
core to control parallel access to its internal structures and,
independently, functions providing Lua scripts with the ability to
create and synchronize multiple threads of execution.
Since the first part of the library is tightly integrated to the Lua
core implementation, LuaThreads requires that the Lua library be
entirely recompiled before it can be used by client scripts. This
process is detailed in the building instructions.
The second part of the library provides client support for the
manipulation of threads as well as mutex and condition
synchronization objects. The LuaThreads API follows the pthreads
standard closely, as detailed in the user's manual.
Comments are welcome, as usual.
Regards,
Diego.
