Kush, I certainly buy your argument for low level language dealing primitive constructs, but folks who primarily work with code in terms of access to an application engine expect a bit more of a black box chosen solution to low level processs management. Many folks using CF have never seen the kind of code your are talking about and and the locking code looks unfriendly to them :->
Plus - I think that using locking is not the same thing as "Creating multi-threaded applcations". Regardless of how you lock, you are not going to influence how CF actually handles threading - only how how it handles concurrent access to resources. That being the case, it is an arguable point that CF (since it is in charge of resource access in any case) should provide a more seemless mechanism for concurrency - rather than abstracting everything else and then leaving this one low level detail up to the developer. -mk -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 1:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: UDF question Interesting. Any language that implements locking (read: any that are worth programming in) uses some sort of "sloppy" locking mechanism. Some are downright evil (read: C++). Certainly, I can't think of any multi- threaded languages that handle concurrency automatically. ----- Original Message ----- From: junkMail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, March 18, 2002 12:50 pm Subject: Re: UDF question > Gosh, I disagree completely with this. > > For me, having my code littered with irrelevant CFLOCKs is sloppy. > > I'm comfortable with requiring the server setting.
