Hello,
I made a short program (see below) to demonstrate the problem:
as soon as I call (gtk-main), all other threads are quickly frozen. From
another application we have, creating new threads
I now that guile 1.6.1 has strange problems with threads, but this seems
to me a bit too far, like gtk would lock the complete guile interpreter.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Kind regards,
Stan.

;;some test code for formatting text to a file in a multi-thread environment

;; This code demonstrates that (gtk-main) function blocks

;; No idea why...
(use-modules (ice-9 threads))
(use-modules (gnome gtk))
(define (async-task2)
(let ((file (open-output-file "test.txt")))
(display "mmm\n")
(do ((i 0 (+ 1 i)))
((>= i 100))
(display "writing a line\n")
(simple-format file "hep ~A ~%" i))
(close file)
(display "done\n")))
(make-thread async-task2)
(display "before gtk-main\n")
(gtk-main)
(display "after\n")
; this to prove that guile without GTK doesn't prevent autonomous
threads to execute.
;(do ((i 0 (+ 1 i)))
; ((>= i 100))
; (display "looping...\n")
; (sleep 1))
