There are two problems with what you wrote in this context: 1. You are replying to a thread about shared-memory parallelism with a discussion of sequential concurrency, which is completely different. 2. You keep saying "avoiding threads" but what you mean is "avoiding parallelism". In essence, your solution to bugs that arise due to parallelism is to avoid parallelism. While true, that is not going to help anyone exploit multicores. -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/?e _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
