1. Euphoria's "sleep(0)" call
Hello there,
In misc.e, sleep(0) is wrapped to return if x is zero (0).
In WinAPI, sleep(0) yields control to another process.
What im wondering is, if we change the code to allow the
'machine' function to allow the call even with zero (0) will
it yield control like the Win API call or no?
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!

I think that was the case in Eu versions prior to 2.5.

This is already the case in Eu 2.5. In 'misc.e' it reads:
global procedure sleep(integer t)
-- go to sleep for t seconds
-- allowing (on WIN32 and Linux) other processes to run
if t >= 0 then
machine_proc(M_SLEEP, t)
end if
end procedure

I don't know.

Oh yes, v2.5 has the update. I was looking at v2.4's misc.e :)
