Re: Threads HOWTO?

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

Hmm.. Why wouldn't you just create one more thread :) for the Lua 
system altogether, then message pass from the others (you can feed in 
whole Lua code chunks if you want). This would be a nice 'bolt in' if 
the messaging overhead is not too bad for you.

Of course, this would incur that the Lua chunks won't be simultaneously 
executed. But if they're small, but need the common state, this could 
be a solution.

Just an idea,
