Re: [MIT-Scheme-devel] threads

[David Gray]

My machine is OSX Mavericks 64bit:

I installed via homebrew: brew install mit-scheme.

This website gives the details of the way the install runs.

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/mit-scheme.rb

(identify-world) gives:

  Release 9.1.1 || Microcode 15.3 || Runtime 15.7 || SF 4.41 || LIAR/C 4.118

  Edwin 3.116

To get this to hang you just ./mit-scheme sans --edit

1] => (sleep-current-thread 100) and mit-scheme-c goes to 100%

When I saw the ..-c I remembered that home-brew compiles everything so:

I downloaded the binary and:

cd /Applications/MIT:GNU Scheme.app/Contents/Resources

./mit-scheme 

1] => (sleep-current-thread 100) works as expected

I occasionally use large vectors so I'll keep LIAR/C around but switching to LIAR/x86-64

solves the (sleep-current-thread ...) problem.
