If I were Project Dictator, then the next generation threads would be implemented with an async call gate, not scheduler activations. Instead, it uses activations to avoid changing the ABI, even though the current plan is to add a new call gate in 5.x for the 64 bit switchover, which is exactly the sort of ABI change that the use of scheduler activations was trying to avoid. IMO, if it's a new call gate, it may as well be async... and magically solve a lot of the hard problems that activations introduced. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
