I finally have gotten to reviewing Utkarsh's work in GSOC. One item that I don't like is that there is a linked list management of the threads that have access to the stack. I think this access is similar to the file descriptors that are blocked in a select call. On a given architecture I don't know exactly how many file descriptors I can block, I don't know exactly what the FD_SET macro does, but I have access to multiple file descriptors through the FD_* macros.
Using FD_SET and friends for specifying thread access could be a good model to specify which threads need access to which thread. However, it won't scale infinitely. Linked lists won't scale infinitely in real-time either. Peter ----------------- Peter Dufault HD Associates, Inc.
