John Abbott
13:45 CoCoALib Bug #1705: ProgressReporter: prepare for new loop?: I have revised the impl -- it now works better.
Much of this code is quite similar to @CpuTimeLimit@.
The commo... John Abbott

John Abbott

22:39 CoCoALib Design #1703 (In Progress): Threadsafety, multithreading: optional fn arg (or separate fn): I have implemented threadsafe mem fns *@myAdd@* (equiv to *@op+=@*).

15:05 CoCoALib Design #1703: Threadsafety, multithreading: optional fn arg (or separate fn): I have not (yet) checked what the penalty might be for using a threadsafe version in a multi-threaded
situation but ... John Abbott
15:02 CoCoALib Design #1703 (Resolved): Threadsafety, multithreading: optional fn arg (or separate fn): Might it make sense to offer the caller the option of choosing
between a "threadsafe" call and one which is not?

15:50 CoCoA-5 Feature #1701: Preliminary packages: Created new directory: *@src/CoCoA-5/packages/preliminary/@*
We'll think about documentation later...
John Abbott
15:25 CoCoA-5 Feature #1701 (In Progress): Preliminary packages: Anna approves the idea (in a nebulous way).
There are some thorny questions:
*(A)* how will these packages be docum... John Abbott

20:56 CoCoALib Feature #1702 (In Progress): Use C++ attributes: Since C++11 _attributes_ are available.
These can be used to suppress compiler warnings, or give hints about likelih... John Abbott

14:38 CoCoA-5 Feature #1701: Preliminary packages: As an example, there was a package implementing some common "transcendental functions" (_e.g._ *@sin@*, *@log@*).
I ... John Abbott
14:35 CoCoA-5 Feature #1701 (In Progress): Preliminary packages: Some while ago Kreuzer gave me many CoCoA packages developed by his students over the years.
I did look at a few o... John Abbott
