GTG & liblarch - Week report #09

[Izidor Matušov <izidor matusov gmail com>]

Hello fellow GSoCers and mentors!

The next week has passed. I worked on allowing to use LibLarch withing 
multiple threads.

The use case is: You have several backends which stores  your tasks, 
e.g. in XML file, or bugs from Bugzilla or Launchpad. Those backends can 
be very slow and therefore they run in separate thread. also there is 
GUI where you can add your own tasks.

In the past, there were many Segmentation Faults created by improper 
synchronization. I've implement algorithm which cache request for adding 
tasks and once in a while process all of those requests just in one 
thread. This helps preventing those Segmentation Faults.

The next week I will spend by integrating LibLarch back into GTG trunk 
and debugging integration problems. The another task will be prepared my 
lightning talk for meet-up at the desktop summit.

Have a nice week,
Izidor
