My Efforts
Effort/Revise OOo Multi-Threading
- Tasks
- review documentation, place tests and testers
- rename Environment.pReserved -> pEnterable
- do threading tests - with component, with the office
- convert rest of office services to be thread unsafe - in progress
- convert dtrans to thread affine?
- Rename Threading Model impl to Threading Framework?
- See if I can optimize the "identity mapping" somehow.
- Possible order of integration
- in progress : VCL thread-transparency 1 - vclthreadtransparency1 - depends: bunoexttm
- fix thread-affinity
- DDE
- Drag&Drop
- Clipboard
- open : Binary Uno new threading architecture - bunonewta - depends: bunoexttm
- in progress : async dialogs 2 - asyncdialogs2 - depends: asyncdialogs
- open : VCL thread-transparency 2 - vclthreadtransparency2 - depends: asyncdialogs2, vclthreadtransparency1
- remove the Solar Mutex
- open : new OOo threading architecture - ooonewta - depends: bunoexttm, vclthreadtransparency2
- in progress : VCL thread-transparency 1 - vclthreadtransparency1 - depends: bunoexttm
Move Uno stuff into the Uno Wiki. See Uno/Effort/Migrate Documentation
