From: PsySal Newsgroups: comp.os.msdos.djgpp Subject: Code swapping / True Multithreading? Date: Thu, 31 Oct 1996 15:23:58 -0700 Organization: Calgary Free-Net Lines: 31 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: french AT srv1 DOT freenet DOT calgary DOT ab DOT ca Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp I will probably never do this, but I'm wondering about protected code-swapping / true multithreading et al. It's been awhile, but I remember reading in "Advanced 80386 Programming Techniques" about how to properly multithread. Now, what I am wondering is this: Is there any EASY way to do this in DJGPP? I thought of having a list of objects, each perfectly encapsulated in a little 80386 pill, and pulling a timer interrupt to swap between them. This has a lot of applications for games, although as I see it it's probably near impossible for someone like me (almost no pmode experience at all) but if there were an EASY way... Thanks, PsySal...?
