Subject: [Caml-list] external threads
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 14:18:39 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <001401c33fba$2478a860$4e050505@SEVA> (raw)

Hello.

One more question about ocaml extensions and threads.

It looks like it is impossible to call ocaml functions from 'external'
thread - thread created from C, by pthread_create. 
So it is difficult, for example, use ocaml to serve CORBA calls.
Caml uses curr_thread global variable and
pthread_setspecific(thread_descriptor_key, ...) available only inside
posix.c

Is there some solution?
Python, for example, provides special API to set up external threads.
