I just had a realization. I do need MT (is this what forking callout/callback threaded vm is called?) I think, for callout, not callback. The select call is a blocking call and will block the image thread. Is it true?
If so, let's figure it out, Craig. I'm with you.
thanks, Robert

Hi Craig,
I saw your thread on that. Luckily NIO is a blocking call-out when you call select, so no callbacks.
Callbacks would be nice to have available. It sounds like it is potentially big in impact to the image environment...pure events. I don't wish to see conversation completely stop on it, but I do not have a compelling use for it yet. I'd rather see 64bit Cog/Spur on PI.
thanks, Robert

I want to get NIO sockets working using FFI, which I understand means Alien. I can't seem to load Alien from the Catalog.
What do you suggest I do?
If NIO sockets involve callbacks from threads forked by thelibrary, don't bother. Cog's scheduler deadlocks.
