Re: [Vala] OpenMP Support
Hi Adrià, I think not only that, but also to recognize when this can be done and where cannot. But I think that using most Glib types can be done if the data structures are thread safe something I'm not aware of it. I suppose it's not easy. But can be a great win to put vala at the same level of scala and rust.

Re: [Vala] OpenMP Support
I think it's an amazing idea, that's why I already filed a bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777452 However, I'm no expert on OpenMP: I've only used to parallelise for loops using: # pragma omp parallel for I think it is not as straight forward as I thought in Vala, since for loops are translated to while loops in C (from what I've seen) so that you can declare the control loop variable inside the loop in C and then check the condition to break the loop. I guess, some work has to be done to allow this transition from Vala to C. I might be wrong about the statements above, but it is what I thought when I had a look at the generated C code for a loop.

Let Vala insert the correct OpenMP hints into the C compiler code when it detects OpenMP should be used on target system. It can even generate two versions of the same code. One with OpenMP support and other without it, controlled by define statements and enable or disable them at build. It means we can take advantage of multiprocessor most of the time without really adding complexity to vala code. Do you think is feasible? Other idea I was digging into is a implementation of twitter finagle in vala. It would be great to start building serious things outside the pure gnome environment.

[Vala] OpenMP Support
Hi, Do you know what it would be great? Let Vala insert the correct OpenMP hints into the C compiler code when it detects OpenMP should be used on target system. It can even generate two versions of the same code. One with OpenMP support and other without it, controlled by define statements and enable or disable them at build. It means we can take advantage of multiprocessor most of the time without really adding complexity to vala code. Do you think is feasible? Other idea I was digging into is a implementation of twitter finagle in vala. It would be great to start building serious things outside the pure gnome environment. Servers that are really scalable and built on C... It would be great. Futures, Servers, Metrics... It opens the door to great things... What do you think?
