[hunchentoot-devel] slime foreground buffer for hunchentoot

[Mark H. David]

Just to all be on the same page, could you share how exactly you start with a single thread?
Is it something like 

   (setq hunchentoot::*supports-threads-p* nil)

before you call hunchentoot:start?

Note that *supports-threads-p* is not exported (need double ::'s).

In any case, I think a good start would be to have documented way to choose single vs. multithreaded.
And it should not be confused with the having the capability or not, so I think it should be a different variable.  
I guess on a non-*support-threads-p* platform, it could be an error to choose multithreaded,
but otherwise, I'd like a high-level way to choose.

But I'm very new to this, so please forgive me if I'm lost and missed something, as is probably the case.

Thanks,

Mark

No, the start functions in my applications usually accept a
singled-threaded-p argument or something similar.  I'm open to
suggestions how Hunchentoot could be improved to make switching
between multi and single-threaded modes easier, if required.
