I am looking at dealing with multiple in-image threads and am wondering
about what operations are atomic. The current understanding is that...
(myvar == nil) ifTrue: [ myvar := 1. myvar2 := #something ]
is atomic, but I see some indication in comments (sorry lost my
reference) that...
myvar ifNil: [ myvar:=1 ]
might not be - but maybe those comments were historical. What is the
current status and likely future guarantees for Squeak/Pharo/Cuis/other?
cheers -ben
