[Vala] OpenMP Support

[Gonzalo Aguilar Delgado <gaguilar aguilardelgado com>]

Hi,

Do you know what it would be great?

Let Vala insert the correct OpenMP hints into the C compiler code when
it detects OpenMP should be used on target system.

It can even generate two versions of the same code. One with OpenMP
support and other without it, controlled by define statements and enable
or disable them at build.

It means we can take advantage of multiprocessor most of the time
without really adding complexity to vala code.

Do you think is feasible?

Other idea I was digging into is a implementation of twitter finagle in
vala. It would be great to start building serious things outside the
pure gnome environment. Servers that are really scalable and built on
C... It would be great. Futures, Servers, Metrics... It opens the door
to great things...

What do you think?


Best regards,
