I'd really like to get that #$(&@$ parallelism bug solved. I don't know what
to do about it because it *seems* to only occur under a ridiculously narrow
set of circumstances but until I figure out for sure what's going on I won't
be fully confident that it's not some horrible concurrency bug. OTOH, I have
no estimate right now of how much longer that's going to take. My latest
thing to note is that sometimes the stack pointer, of all things, is somehow
getting overwritten with the value of TaskStatus.done. I have absolutely no
clue how. I'm starting to feel the same way about this bug that I usually
feel about the biology problems I try to solve for my thesis research: The
harder I look, the more confused I get.
I feel your pain on that, I've been through that mill many times. Sometimes it
helps to set it down for a moment. Worst case, we release with a buggy
std.parallelism. It's not breaking existing code because it's new.
Also, I don't think the auto tester indicates we're ready for a release quite
yet. It's been ICEing on the std.concurrency unittests.
Sigh.
