I hope i'm sending this mail to the right address, forgive me if i'm wrong..
i selected JavascriptCore over the competition because i read that
it's thread safe.
but, i can't get it to work from within threads with crashing.
the first version of my test was using one context, created with
JSGlobalContextCreateInGroup , and two threads calling
JSEvaluateScript
the first thread was evaluating this->
for(a = 0; a< 10000; a++) {
print(a)
}
print is simply a function that calls printf.
the second thread was evaluating
for(b = 0; b< 10000; b++) {
print(b)
}
i'm not even accessing the same variable, but it still crashes.
the second version of my test was using one context per thread, part
of the same group, and i got the same result, some ASSERT function
creating a BAD_ACCESS error.
i was really hoping that i could actually have multiple concurrent
scripts accessing the same objects, at the same time (you can never
predict what the developer of the scripts wants to do)
i tried both versions of my tests with boost threads, and with the
threading library built in JavascriptCore <wtf/Threading.h>
so i can say i'm a bit disappointed !, what am i doing wrong ? or is
this just impossible ?
in that case, what's all that threading/ locking/ mutex etc code for ?
