> Key: CLOWNFISH-78
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOWNFISH-78
> Project: Apache Lucy-Clownfish
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Nick Wellnhofer
> Fix For: 0.6.0
>
>
> 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.
