July 25, 2006 Condition Variables, third race | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi! Time to check out D again... I saw Graham St Jack's post in February about condition variables (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/34392.html), and I just want to give the reason it never got into D/Phobos. My first question about CVs is in a post from early December. I coded the solution linked to in the February post in mid-December. However, the reason it never got any further was: 1) I have no idea what the proper way of submitting patches are. 2) Walter actually answered; but only with "I'm not using it, so I don't know if it's correct" 3) David Friedman told me he would test it, but I never heard from him. 4) No one else seemed interested. It is still my (and now it seems, Graham's) highest belief that D won't be a major language until we have something comparable to Java's excellent built-in threading support. /Tommie Gannert |

I second that motion!
Something should be done before version 1.0, even if it is just an extension to Phobos to add a Condition class - but a language extension would be so much nicer because the compiler could do error-checking.
Isn't there anyone out there using threads seriously? What do you use for conditions? What do you think should be done, if anything?
