Hi,
For integrity, The garbage collection process requires that the Pike global interpreter lock be held. This implies that all threads hold this lock in their turn while executing. Is this a single (intra-)Process lock, or a cross (inter-) Process lock.
To put the question another way, does the lock span process boundries, or just threads within a Pike Process?
Will this locking single-thread Pike execution in a Multi-Process environment?
