Careful. If you're calling foreign functions that rely on thread-local storage, you must call them using the same OS thread (to provide them with the correct thread state), which means using the same, *bound*, Haskell thread. It wouldn't work to call them from both the main Haskell thread and another Haskell thread, even if the latter were a bound thread, as there would be two copies of thread-local storage at play.
That's alright. I'm used to putting all the related calls in the same thread as long as it is possible. It'd seem unlogical to me -- conceptually speaking -- to spread OpenGL calls between several threads. I understand better, now. Actually, I think I was getting worked up for nothing ^^. Just one last remark: when I moved all my OpenGL calls from the main thread to an unbound thread. I thought it'd not work -- because I assumed I would have to launch it in a bound thread -- and however it went right... ----- Yves Parès Live long and prosper -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Threading-and-FFI-tp27611528p27665592.html Sent from the Haskell - Haskell-Cafe mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
