Squirrel

Hi, dear all.
I am trying to use sqplus in multi-thread program.
When there are two thread access SquirrelVM at the same time, the program will be crashed.
Because of  the design purpose, all thread will access SquirrelVM frequently, I can't lock thread and wait it done, it will cause performance down.
Do the any suggestion or any other way can solve my problem?

Thanks.

Hi

Squirrel is not thread safe and neither is SQPlus. Why? There isn't a resonably fast way to make a
dynamic language hardware thread aware, at least in the canonical procedural way.
Some laungage wraps all the API in a critical section so that the api can be invoked by different threads, I personally believe that the application writer can do a much better job; so I decided to not even try to address the problem.
My suggestion is: use a VM fo a single thread only you can call sq_open() in different threads and create separated VMs, but i'd stick to 1 VM, 1 hardware thread.

ciao
