Question: Recommended way to add to package that could run on Windows #92

Closed ejmeitz closed 2 months ago

Is there a recommended way to only load and pin threads if my package is loaded by someone using Linux? e.g. If my package is loaded on Windows nothing bad should happen.

Hi @ejmeitz, there shouldn't be anything you need to do. That is, by default, nothing bad should happen on Windows 😉

On Windows:

using ThreadPinning # will throw a informative warning, see https://github.com/carstenbauer/ThreadPinning.jl/blob/599835342ce509d6fd35a17d4b49cedfa0c6ccd8/src/ThreadPinning.jl#L93-L95
pinthreads(:cores) # will be a no-op

If you observe something different, or have any suggestions on how it should behave differently, please let me know.
