@ -7,6 +7,14 @@ Phase 6 (gc-dev6) - Multiple mutators (application threads)
Phase 7 (TBD) - Sharing of variables between threads (ideally without limitation, but that might not be realistic)
TODO:
- create a branch and try to use CK atomics. goals:
- make sure this is stable on x86 (first priority)
- see if this will build/work on ARM
- rename SET to CAS (compare and swap)
- anything else?
- This is higher priority than mutexes (though not by much), because we want cyclone to work on both ARM and x86.
- bring exceptions into local thread data? anything else?
also, will probably need to lock shared resources such as I/O...
