Would a platform specific code or infrastructure help there?
There should be some kind of detection algorythm , which can switch between polling and waiting on input semaphore. My proposal is to change the primitive (primInterruptSemaphore: aSemaphore ) to return boolean value, showing that input semaphore signaling is available.
I disagree, changing the VM and still not fixing it is not really an option. If I understood Andreas correctly the signalling is not hard to implement and then we could abandon polling altogether. Michael
