Hi folks,
Yeh, we have done this before, but it was about 3 years ago. I'll have a look around at some old backups and see what I can dig out. As mentioned in another post a few months back, it involved compiling stuff into Aolserver during installation, and subsequent hacking of its tcl interpretter initialisation routine. I'm pretty sure we've got an old machine here with an original working installation of the Aolserver/[incr]Tcl server. We only ever used it for demo's in the end as we weren't too sure about.
- Its stability
- Its thread-safeness
- Its overall usefulness for the type of development we were doing, particularly its inability to share objects across interpreters (i.e., threads). This being caused by the way Aolserver manages interpreters and threads.
We were pretty new to Aolserver (and [incr] Tcl) at the time, so many of these issues may have been resolved, but I doubt it judging from the lack of concrete answers on the subject. I'll post up more information as and when I find it.
