| 14:19.24 | Ingshtrom | Good morning developers! |
| 14:33.08 | Baanano | hi ingshtrom |
| 14:49.38 | Ingshtrom | Hey Baanano, I saw your AH addon, and it looks very impressive! I haven't tried it out ( in the proces of moving ), but I am excited to try it out! |
| 14:50.59 | Baanano | thank you :) |
| 15:48.19 | Ingshtrom | As addon developers, do we implement multi-threading, or is that a backend thing that Zorba does? |
| 15:52.30 | Baanano | we can't do multithreading, the addon system is single-threaded |
| 15:53.59 | Ingshtrom | Darn. Do you know if there is any thoughts of implementing multithreading? |
| 15:55.09 | Baanano | not that I know, in fact that would be a breaking change |
| 15:55.27 | Ingshtrom | Oh really? Why? |
| 15:55.30 | Baanano | what are you trying to do? perhaps it may be done without multithreading |
| 15:56.25 | Ingshtrom | I am just curious. I am just thinking about efficiency and what I can do. |
| 15:57.23 | Baanano | if we had multiple threads and your addon code were interrupted in the middle of a critical section, for example when you're manipulating an item... when your thread is activated again the item could not exist anymore |
| 15:59.42 | Ingshtrom | Isn't that always a multithreading issue? We would just have to surround critical regions with semaphores or something similar. |
| 15:59.48 | Baanano | however, if what you're seeking for is a way to split a process that will take too much time, you could use coroutines to split its execution across several frames |
| 16:01.17 | Baanano | yes, that's always a multithreading issue, and though Zorba could add the functionality to control that (semaphores for example), there's no addon that is prepared to work with those new constraints, so it would be a breaking change |
| 16:01.51 | Ingshtrom | Oh, I see what you mean. Understood. |
| 16:02.22 | Ingshtrom | Thank you for the explanation. :) |
| 16:03.29 | Ingshtrom | Well, off to graduate. See you guys on the other side!!! |
| 16:03.43 | Baanano | see you ingshtrom |
