;;; Commentary:

;; This module is documented in the Guile Reference Manual.
;; Briefly, one procedure is exported: `%thread-handler';
;; as well as four macros: `make-thread', `begin-thread',
;; `with-mutex' and `monitor'.

;;; Code:

(define-module (ice-9 threads)
  :export-syntax (make-thread
		  begin-thread
		  with-mutex
		  monitor)
  :export (%thread-handler))

\f

(define (%thread-handler tag . args)
  (fluid-set! the-last-stack #f)
  (unmask-signals)
  (let ((n (length args))
	(p (current-error-port)))
    (display "In thread:" p)
    (newline p)
    (if (>= n 3)
        (display-error #f
                       p
                       (car args)
                       (cadr args)
                       (caddr args)
                       (if (= n 4)
                           (cadddr args)
                           '()))
        (begin
          (display "uncaught throw to " p)
          (display tag p)
          (display ": " p)
