Description
You can have multiple threads in Kotlin/Native. Each thread can have its own event loop with . Currently communication between those threads via coroutine primitives (like channels) is not supported. This issue it to track enhancement of Kotlin/Native in runBlocking
and have number of coroutines running therekotlinx.coroutines
library so that all the following becomes possible:
- Launching coroutines from one thread with a dispatcher on another thread
- Await/join coroutine running on another thread
- Send/Receive elements to/from coroutines on other threads
UPDATE: Currently, coroutines are supported only on the main thread. You cannot have coroutines off the main thread due to the way the library is currently structured.
UPDATE 2: the separate library version that supports Kotlin/Native multithreading is released on a regular basis.
For the details and limitations, please follow kotlin-native-sharing.md document.
The latest version: 1.5.2-native-mt
