[Mono-devel-list] Stopping threads from within the runtime? ( fwd)

[Derek Woo]

Yes, but I would be looking more for an approach that would work online. A
background thread would wakes up periodically, stop the world momentarily,
and then resume the world. Instinct tells me to go find similar things
from the GC, hopefully some guidacne would lead me to the right direction.

regards,
Derek
