Ensure inter-module communication for virtual grids is thread safe #42

Closed Dewb closed 2 years ago

Dewb commented 5 years ago

When Rack's thread count is increased past the default of 1, virtual grids will likely crash, because the module-module communication system used by the virtual grids was not designed to be thread-safe.

I've been running in multithreaded mode for a few weeks now with no issues. The changes in #69 improve thread safety further, and provide a base to build on for trickier threading scenarios in VCV Rack 2.0. I'm going to close this and open new post-2.0 issues.
