I’m also open to the idea of getting something with fewer dependencies and lower performance done as an early first step, so we can unblock all of the API above libdispatch that wants to just use queues.

That would make sense - just want to point out that libkqueue and libpwq are separate - the same question posed for libpwq in a separate mail would be relevant for libkqueue as well - would closer integration make sense, or just keep things separate?

>> Our most important goal for year one is to get the core library implementations up to date with where we are on Darwin on platforms like Linux. API changes are not out of the question but we have to make sure they align with that goal. This is the right place to discuss them, though. We’ll be in a much better place to evaluate it when we get dispatch building & running.

Thanks, to complete the bringup of the core libraries makes sense, we’d just want to understand how to approach (the very few) API additions we’ve made - and it’s good its the right forum.

Cheers,

Joakim
