Hi Loius What makes you so sure, that it's a real deadlock? A deadlock situation is defined as: one process owning some resources waiting for another resource to become available which is owned by a second process that is waiting for a resource to become available which is already owned by the first process. looking complicated eh? Becomes more complicated, if you have several processes. I made the experience of hanging programs when I used threads for the first time. that problem was addressed by termination and freeing of threads. Threads can be debugged, you can place breakpoints into your thread-code, there is a thread-window in the ide though sometimes the ide crashes and has to be restarted.
last (NOT LEAST): if you are using a multi-processor environment THERE ARE LOTS OF BUGS IN THE OS!!! try googeling for multitread errors. Have fun, thoug it can be hard sometimes Bob > Hi guys > > I've come across a horrible bug.
