It would be nice to have... do you have any code to donate? :-)
Seriously, I would like to see some classes to help support
OS features like these. At the moment, however, I certainly
don't have time to be doing it. You might want to post the
idea to the MiscKit mailing list (misckit@byu.edu) and see if
anyone there has more ideas along these lines--and also to
see who there might be able to work on such objects.
Ok.
Hello mailing list people. My thoughts on this subject are somewhat
vague and incomprehensible. I have built thread classes and messageQ
classes before, but NOTHING I would consider worth sharing (I am SO
ashamed!). Besides, something like this should probably be built
around other MiscKit objects (?); perhaps MiscString, Socket. et al.
Threads in particular are nasty as they imply that thread shared
objects must be thread safe (How does the MiscKit qualify on this
one?).
Any interest?
