Microsoft Windows Freezing Fix? #34

Open RyanBurnside opened 5 years ago

RyanBurnside commented 5 years ago

Has there been any attempt to determine and patch the aforementioned freezing with window movement in Microsoft Windows? I realize that Windows is a closed source system that costs money to purchase. As unfortunate as that is, cl-cffi-gtk can't claim to be cross platform in the same way the original library is. Is it a matter of no developers having Windows? Is it a matter of SBCL not playing nice with threads on Windows? Would some payment for a patch be required?

I had to look for what issue you're referring to as I didn't write that up.

I actually have no idea whether it was or still is the case that there's freezing. I recall there being some pull request about a potential freeze that was related to some GTK functions related to threading? Not sure it's the same thing.

Personally, it's not something I care about; I do have access, but I also have no interest in working on it just for myself.

For starters, what would be required is a specific test case / situation that reliably demonstrates the problem. I can't promise anything but to take a look into it as much as I'm able in my spare time and no, I can't accept payments. For the latter you might be able to ask Dieter / https://github.com/crategus whether he can do something about it as he also has a lot of experience with the code.
