----------------------------------------
Summary: Bootstrap process isn't thread-safe
Key: CLOWNFISH-78
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOWNFISH-78
Project: Apache Lucy-Clownfish
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Nick Wellnhofer
The Clownfish bootstrap process isn't thread-safe. For a lock-free solution:
- Class_bootstrap must set the global class pointer at the very end, possibly
destroying the class if another thread set the pointer before.
- The runtime inheritance cycle detection must be reworked, or simply left out.
It only protects from a really contrived scenario.
- Probably other things I missed.
We could also consider a global lock using a locking facility provided by the
host language.
