C5 evicted srfi-18, along w/ srfi-1, 13, 14, & 69, to the egg store. chicken-install -retrieve. On Dec 2, 2018, at 10:39 AM, Jörg F. Wittenberger <address@hidden> wrote:
Hi all,
when I tried to reply in a timely manner I apparently sent out a link to a broken file. Sorry for that.
Just wanted to see if I could create a patch for the current master.
For this I need srfi-18 egg source too. Just I can't find it.

Hi,
Here's another version that crashes quickly with "very high

This bears an uncanny resemblance to scheduler issues I've been fighting a long ago.
Too long to ago.
--- A fix
Just allow the 'ready state for threads in mutex-unlock!
...
Is this a correct fix?
Too long ago.
But it feels wrong. We'd rather make sure there is no ready thread in the queue waiting for a mutex in the first place.
Diffing the changes I maintained quite a while back http://ball.askemos.org/Ad60e3fb123a79b2e5128915116b288f7/chicken-4.9.1-ball.tar.gz you will find that I added a
##sys#thread-clear-blocking-state!
Towards the end of scheduler.scm and used it for consistency whereever I ran into not-so-clean unlocks.
Now this is still an invasive change. But looking at the source of scheduler and srfi-18 in chicken 5 right now, I can't fight the feeling that it is working around the missing changes at several places.
Best
