Re: GSoC multithreading project question

Hello Sergey,

Thanks for interest.

The GC integration is not the hardest part of the task, imo.
In current implementation there is no big difference between weak hash
tables (http://clisp.org/impnotes/weak.html#weak-ht) and normal ones
besides the special treatment during GC (see spvw_weak.d).

I am willing to assist you with handling GC issues.
