- Subject: GC with threads on Darwin/OS X
Hi-
The past few days I've been trying to get GCJ and the boehm-gc working
on Darwin/OS X. I've made a lot of progress. I'm using mach's
thread_suspend()/thread_resume() calls to suspend other threads while
the GC does its work. It seems to be working well, well enough to
almost run the X11 version of XWT (www.xwt.org). There are still some
bugs to iron out and some cleanup that needs to be done, but it looks
promising.
Before I get too far into this, is anyone else working on getting the
GC and threads working on Darwin? I wouldn't want to duplicate effort
with anyone else.
