45 /* {Asynchronous Events}
47 * There are two kinds of asyncs: system asyncs and user asyncs. The
48 * two kinds have some concepts in commen but work slightly
49 * differently and are not interchangeable.
51 * System asyncs are used to run arbitrary code at the next safe point
52 * in a specified thread. You can use them to trigger execution of
53 * Scheme code from signal handlers or to interrupt a thread, for
56 * Each thread has a list of 'activated asyncs', which is a normal
57 * Scheme list of procedures with zero arguments. When a thread
58 * executes a SCM_ASYNC_TICK statement (which is included in
59 * SCM_TICK), it will call all procedures on this list.
61 * Also, a thread will wake up when a procedure is added to its list
62 * of active asyncs and call them. After that, it will go to sleep
63 * again. (Not implemented yet.)
66 * User asyncs are a little data structure that consists of a
67 * procedure of zero arguments and a mark. There are functions for
68 * setting the mark of a user async and for calling all procedures of
69 * marked asyncs in a given list. Nothing you couldn't quickly
