I've just uploaded the pr9 patch, which includes MESS 0.61.1. Sorry about
the delay. I thought I'd have a go at getting the xgl target working
correctly, but my efforts were hampered by a few system lockups -- it's
probably time to try some newer DRI drivers. If anyone else is interested
in trying to fix this target, I'll forward you Stephen Anthony's findings.
Oh, Andrea Mazzoleni of AdvanceMAME has provided a couple of pthread
implementations to be used with Nathan Woods' new SMP support
(osd_parallelize()). I haven't tried them out yet -- I don't even have an
SMP system -- but you can download them from
http://x.mame.net/downloads/thread.zip
I'll at least make this available in the contrib directory for the
release.
Andrea's message:
I've just finished the pthread implementation of the upcoming MESS
osd_parallelize() function.
I did two different version:
thdouble.c - A double thread implementation.
thfifo.c - A multi thread implemention with reentrancy support.
There are also two test versions to compare the speed:
thmono.c - A single thread implemenation.
thcreate.c - A multi thread implementation with a thread
creation at any request.
The thdouble.c implementation is the fastest with the thfifo.c a
little slower. Both of them a lot faster than the two test versions.
(tests did on a biprocessor system)
