Client for Android already works (I mean native fbclient, not Java client). What about server - main problem is missing both shared futexes/cond.vars and System V semaphores. There are some ideas (and even working shared mutex based on filelocks using fcntl()), but not sure it's good idea to solve this problem inside google summer of code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel - in partnership with Geeknet, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials, tech docs, whitepapers, evaluation guides, and opinion stories.
