...Still talking about task id issuing techniques...


Hello again,


Wait a minute...

With Rob's current method wouldnt you have to have 1e14 (or more)
tasks going at the SAME time to have some sort of problem?  Ok, no,
but at least the time between say taskid=1 and the time it would
take to issue that same id once the first task 1 ended would be pretty
darn long i think with ANY program.  This would mean the only possible
way a task checking another task could become confused is if a WHOLE
LOTTA task ids had been issued after that first one was.  With such
a high number (1e14) i cant see rollover being a problem...ever...
unless we start seeing REALLY high increases in new processor speed
designs like we used to see.  By then speed wouldnt matter going to
128 bit id's i guess :)  Or, i'll have to go back to my old method
of keeping track of tasks running :)


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
