Out of the people I've asked, nobody has been against adding threadsafe operations; the opposite, everyone has been pro threadsafety as desktop cpus are gaining more cores and thus the ability to efficiently multitask. This is not a null use case. Aside from desktop usage, I am working on bringing EFL into secure server operations, and this requires the use of threads. I realize that not everyone uses threads, which is why threadsafety is in no way required or enabled for normal operation. -- Mike Blumenkrantz Zentific: Our boolean values are huge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
