***cbabbage is now known as ijp

<dougmencken>ijp: there're no changes with --disable-regexp

<ijp>well, I can't say I'm too surprised

<ijp>I'm mostly clueless about the build stuff

<dougmencken>thats okay, I remember I wrote opts for ./configure back in 1.8 days

<dougmencken>(when there was no compiler, no network etc.)

***ijp` is now known as ijp

<Chaos`Eternal>hello, just want ask a question about async: This doc http://community.schemewiki.org/?guile-asyncs-batch-processing

<Chaos`Eternal>says that async is scheduled by ways of sleep.

<Chaos`Eternal>though this is strange, but I still want to know how asyncs are implemented and schedules, and if i use asyncs heavily, will them affect the performance

<Chaos`Eternal>well, my proposed usage of asyncs is to use asyncs to implement thread-mailbox

<dsmith>Chaos`Eternal, That's from 2007. I think the newish guiles are different. That may be from before guile began using posix threads.

<Chaos`Eternal>dsmith, thx

<Chaos`Eternal>but do you have some evidence or codes...

<Chaos`Eternal>code always talks

<dsmith>Chaos`Eternal, Just look through the guile manual on threads. Or asyncs.

<Chaos`Eternal>dsmith, i have read the manual, again and again..

<dsmith>Chaos`Eternal, the code is libguile/async.c

<Chaos`Eternal>actually, I did find the code for queuing a thunk to asyncs queue, but i didn't find the code executes the queue

<Chaos`Eternal>strange..

<dsmith>For example, the system-async is marked as deprecated.

<Chaos`Eternal>but system-async-mark is not

<Chaos`Eternal>well, i believe the code is there, just i can't find it

<dsmith>Ok. I just meant that what is currently available may be different from that web page.

<wingo>evening, guilers

<wingo>heya civodul :)

<civodul>hey wingo!

<fbs>o/

<civodul>oh, fix for regex_exec
