New Mac OS Forge Project: libdispatch
The libdispatch project consists of the user space implementation of
the Grand Central Dispatch API as seen in Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow
Leopard. The Mac OS X kernel support for GCD may be found in the xnu
project. While kernel support provides many performance optimizations
on Mac OS X, it is not strictly required for portability to other
platforms. However, in order to implement the full API for Grand
Central Dispatch, C compiler support for blocks is required. The
blocks runtime is available as part of the LLVM project.
This project is intended to be a resource for developers interested in
learning more about libdispatch on Mac OS X. Contributions to this
project will be continually evaluated for possible inclusion in future
releases of Mac OS X. The sources are available under the terms of the
Apache License, Version 2.0 in the hope that they might serve as a
launching point for porting GCD to other platforms.
