The threads basically will consume almost-no resources other than a process-table entry somewhere in the guts of the operating system

Oh. Thank you for explaining that to me. Except you're wrong!

Threads are not processes, so therefore do not have "process-table entries".

On the other hand, threads have their own stacks; their own interpreter contexts; their own copies of the environment; their own copies of pre-existing global context; their own proxies for any shared data; their own ...

In other words, you aren't just slightly off, but absolutely diametrically wrong on all counts.

So why post? Why do you -- who evidently know little of the subject, and understand even less of the little you have some inkling of -- feel the need to demonstrate to me -- I think fair to say, one of the more knowledgeable monks with regard to threading -- just how useless your home-spun wisdom fairy stories on this subject, as with so many others, really are?

Are you hoping to help me? Or help the OP? Or to ingratiate yourself with me in particular or the monks in general?

What is the point of your posting this garbage?

Oh look, someone front paged this thread. I wonder if that could have influenced your need to "say something"?


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
