As Emery says, interrupts (both in the hardware interrupt sense and generally in the "something that asynchronously interrupts your program" sense) are not supported by Solo5. This is by design, and will not change. > [...] > However I wonder if this would be a valid use case > for adding SMP to the Solo5 runtime?

Implementing SMP is likewise not in scope due to the complexity involved. In fact, it's probably not possible at all while keeping the goal of portability to the various supported tenders/targets. Regarding your GC implementation questions, I don't know much about GCs so can't comment. There are various OCaml people on this list so someone may be able to help or pass on your question to the compiler folks. Hope this helps, Martin
