Hi Miller, just as a reminder
- Make a stab at making Pdlib callable from multiple threads. There's a
suggestion from Peter Brinkmann in which gensym() (and I presume by extension, pd_bind() etc) would be protected by a lock. I have an alternative idea I'd like to float; I'll do this in a separate message to follow.
the devel_0_39 branch had a contribution by Tim Blechmann, where gensym access to existing symbols was thread-safe - the lock was only necessary for the creation of new symbols. As far as i know, there should be lock-free/wait-free hash tables available in the meantime.
best, Thomas
