RE: Native Threads in the RTS

| 2. Calling from foreign code into Haskell to a bound foreign import will | require some special handling to ensure that a subsequent call out to | foreign code will use the same native thread. Why couldn't this special | handling select the same Haskell thread instead of creating a new one? This is just an efficiency issue, right? If creating a Haskell thread from scratch is very cheap, then it's easier to do that each time rather than to try to find the carcass of a completed Haskell thread. If you do the latter, you need to get into carcass management. But maybe there is more to it than efficiency in your mind? Simon
