So I'm working with threads, and I've found the Nim threads to be somewhat
limitating. Now, I'm wondering what differences are between those two? My main
question is: do I get the GC for posix threads too, or I need to set up it by
myself?
I'm new to this so I don't know much, but if I'd to say I'd guess that one
reason might be performance and memory.
Gcc and clang have the "aligned" attribute and in his C atomics library Jeff
Preshing was using that (together with volatile). So there must be cases where
it does not align.
Krux02, from what I've read about lockfree (namely Jeff Preshing's blog:
[http://preshing.com](http://forum.nim-lang.org///preshing.com)/ ), one
requirement for atomics in x86 (and other architectures) are aligned variables.
And about the types anything from 1 to four bytes.
Araq,I have
Probably this has been answered before, but how I make variables aligned in
Nim? I need that because for lockfree programming one of the requirements for
atomic operations is that is aligned in memory. How can I do that?
