It seems there’re already several thread implementations, as I noticed there’re Bordeaux Threads, Portable-Threads, and 《The Common Lisp Cook Book》 also gives a way to implement multi-threads, the package mp which I don’t known how to involve it in my program, I can’t find this package.
The problem is how can I choose a proper multi-threads library to meet my demand, as I’m also a C programmer, it’s better like pthread, but it doesn’t matter, I wonder which it’s the most used multi-threads library, or what is the regular way for multi-threads programming in Common Lisp.
According to
Quicklisp stats for November
bordeaux-threads is heavily used but I don’t see portable-threads or
any other implementations. So I guess you could try it and see if it
meets your needs and look for another implementation if it doesn’t.
I’ve barely used it but I’ve found it easy to use and the
API documentation
is rather clear.
