1. Threads on Win32 Euphoria
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

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.

Euphoria 2.0 does not support threads.
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.
