Hi all,
I have just re-released LuaThreads-1.0-work. The new release was
modified due to our discussions and the present state is summarized by
the observations in the manual:
* LuaThreads mutexes are recursive in the sense that successive calls to
mutex:lock() nest. If the mutex owner locks a mutex n times, it has to
unlock the mutex the same n times before the mutex switches to
unlocked state.
* LuaThreads conditions are safe in the sense that even if a thread has
more than one lock over a mutex, cond:wait(mutex) manages to unlock
the mutex before blocking the caller thread. Upon return, the same
number of locks is restored into the mutex.
The code should work with any pthreads compliant or Win32 platforms.
This is still a work version, though, and there might be
corrections/modifications before and after Lua 4.1 final is released.
Suggestions and comments are welcome as usual.
Regards,
Diego.
