Is there a good source of information on how people do thread management in merlin? Since event style programming isn't quite their yet, is there a thread pool or anything like that? Or is thread management currently an exercise for the developer?
Sorry - no. There was some inital content dealing with thread management in Merlin 2.1 but that got pulled out before the 3.0 release. The objective is to treat thread management as a container side facility so that we can easily plug-in and updade solutions for specific concerns (e.g. logging, threads, pooling, security, distribution, management, ... ). Before introducing these sort of things we need to the framework in the kernel to be extended to include a seperate system faciities container and that requires some additional work on a finder style block - but that's pending completion of the bootstrapping/embedding refactoring which is current top priority.
What would be interesting is to see what you think a thread management facility would look like - model it up as a classic component exposing a thread management service. With that in place - when the kernel updates are done it should a single drop in exercise.
Cheers, Steve.
