[Chicken-users] Posix threading

[Julian Morrison]

I'm not entirely certain, but I think Chicken's stack-based gc mechanism 
makes Posix threading impossible - am I right? Stack allocated stuff 
can't be visible across threads with seperate stacks, and heap allocated 
stuff can be moved by GC.

Perhaps Posix threaded programs could work, provided they only rely upon 
"evicted" shared data?

Posix threads are good because (1) they allow blocking kernel calls to 
only block one thread (2) they take full advantage of multiple CPUs, 
hyperthreading processors, etc.
