Chris Fallin (May 29 2024 at 19:24):Should be largely orthogonal to the compiler backend: whatever multithreading primitives you need should be implemented in your language's runtime (e.g., starting threads, mutex locks, etc.) If you need to implement low-level synchronization primitives in Cranelift-compiled code, it does have atomic instructions (see atomic_rmw and atomic_cas as well as atomic_load, atomic_store)
Cregg (May 29 2024 at 19:37):Thanks for the information!
