Hello all,
I'm a bit confused about how threads work with IO in factor.
This: https://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-threads.html seems to imply
that functions such as readln will yield to other threads unless data is
available on a stream, but the following program only ever reads from the fifo:
USING:
kernel threads io io.files io.encodings.utf8
;
IN: test
: read-fifo
( --
)
"fifo"
utf8
[
readln print flush
]
with-file-reader read-fifo
;
: read-stdin
( --
)
readln print flush read-stdin
;
[
read-fifo
]
"fifo-thread"
spawn drop
read-stdin
What am I misunderstanding here?
Thanks.
Murray.
