....if by some weird coincidence, a command dispatched into the session
happens to trigger session shutdown or re-loading, this will cause a deadlock,
since decommissioning of session data structures must wait for the
ProcDispatcher to disable command processing -- and this will obviously
never happen when in a callstack below some command execution!
up to now this happened from the GuiRunner, which was a rather bad idea
- it can throw and thus interfer with the startup process
- the GuiNotification can not sensibly be *implemented* just backed
by the GuiRunner. While CoreService offers access to the necessary
implementation facilities to do so
to make them stand out more prominently, some entity comments
where started with a line of starts. Unfortunately, doxygen
(and javadoc) only recogise comments which are started exactly
with /**
This caused quite some comments to be ignored by doxygen.
Credits to Hendrik Boom for spotting this problem!
A workaround is to end the line of stars with *//**
This removes the explicit Sync things from the thread wraper since
the functionality is almost exactly provided by the backend.
Thread encapsulates a lumiera thread handle now, but this is strictly
optional and might be dropped on the floor (using a temporary as thread).
Thread has a sync() function which allows user controlled syncronous
startup:
Thread("foo", myoperation).sync();
will startup myoperation and only return from the ctor after myoperation
called a matching lumiera_thread_sync().
The related tests need to initialize/destroy the threadpool accordingly
