Hi, I am investigating the feasibility and the opportunity to write (basic) Win32 GUI apps using Chicken. So far I think I've obtained good results leveraging Christian Kellermann's nice technique to handle callbacks (http://pestilenz.org/~ckeen/blog/posts/callbacks.html)*. I am able to create windows, add widgets, react to events and so on. Unfortunately I've stumbled upon a problem I am not able to overcome. When the app engages in long running operations, the (scheme) procedure in charge of handling GUI's events starves, with the net effect that the app seems to freeze.
So my question is: it's just me not properly using Chicken's "cooperative" threads (which might be well the case since I am not accustomed to those), or I've hit an intrinsic limit of Chicken being single threaded (in the pthread sense of "concurrent" threads)? Ciao, Michele * I think there are a few errors in the example. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
