PySoy: Upgrade Threading
completed by: Darrel
mentors: Amaury Medeiros, Arc Riley, Tony Young, David Czech, Mayank Singh
When you compile PySoy with GLib 2.32+ (which is now the minimum supported) you'll see one of these:
warning: 'g_thread_create' is deprecated
(declared at /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/
deprecated/gthread.h:100): Use
'g_thread_new' instead
Do exactly what this says: in PySoy where we currently use the old
g_thread_create call, change it to use g_thread_new
instead. Note that the new API is slightly different so this isn't a simple
search and replace. Your modified code should compile without these warnings
and without introducing any new warnings.
While working on this task you should join and remain in #PySoy on Freenode to get help, feedback, and guidance from mentors and other developers. Code updates which may affect your work are also announced here as they happen.
When you've done, commit your work and post the resulting changeset url to this task.
