Subject: | [Caml-list] Threaded C code and callbacks |
Hi, There's a C library I'd like to interface with ocaml but it is multithreaded. In the API, one can set some callbacks that are called asynchronously. Of course, I'd like these callbacks to be caml functions. The problem is that I cannot simply use `callback_exn' because when the callback is triggered another caml thread may be running ; callback_exn doesn't seem to check the mutex (or whatever) that guarantees that only one caml thread is running. I tried various hacks involving some mutex shared by caml and the C stub code but it stills crashes at some point. Any idea ? Or is this definitively impossible ? (I'm not very familiar with the internal's of ocaml's threading machinery). -- Olivier ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
