STM Progress Report (8)
Done since last report:
- Bug fixes: fix race conditions; memory leaks; really make dynoplibs work with threads (sort-of)
- Make things work on Solaris/Sparc 64
- Look at performance issues including instrumenting STM to optionally record statisitical information (not very productive; it appears the best way to improve the performance of STM is to improve the performance of GC/allocation)
- More test cases for STM so more bugs can be found/removed
- Fix shared objects + detached threads bug
- Documentation lookover
- Exceptions + STM runtime
- Thread performance/bug/incompleteness issues?
