Hi folks, Does anybody know how to use threads in the Win32 version of euphoria? Does this even work, or are we restricted by routine_id()? thanks nonlerer

I'm guessing, but I'm under the impression that threads require *real* = function addresses. The only Euphoria routine address I know how to get = is the callback address, using call_back(). The problem is that the = Euphoria callback function requires four parameters, while the thread = function expects only one. You would probably have difficulty convincing = Win32 that the callback address was a good thread function address - = you'd probably get an internal frame error or something. -- David Cuny

A future release might, if there is enough demand for it. It's not a trivial thing to add. With threads you can have parallelism *within* a single program. This goes beyond the usual parallelism that lets the OS run two or more programs (processes) at the same time. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software
