[Mono-dev] when to call mono_thread_attach

[Ng, Victor]

Hi all,

I'm trying to embed a Mono process inside of CPython but I'm having some trouble with threads.

When am I supposed to call mono_thread_attach? 

Right now, I'm invoking it immediately after mono_jit_init and immediately before I instantiate and initialize an object and prior to finding and invoking a method on an object.

I still get SEGSEGV once in a while though when I try running multithreaded code.  I'm guessing that there's some important piece of information I'm missing on when I should or shouldn't be using mono_thread_attach.

Also, how do I know what objects I have to call mono_free on?  I can't seem to find a good reference on that topic.  Are there also objects where I have to 'pin' them into memory for the Mono GC?

thanks,
vic
