"Generally, there is one thread for each application and one for the operating system’s user interface as well."
I think the article writer meant "process" -- there are many threads per process, and that is present in most "contemporary operating systems". If this is their (Haiku Inc.'s) attempt at PR... they are not doing it well.
- Schweigi 14y agoThe writer meant exactly what he wrote. Thats the reason you have to delegate UI updates from worker threads to the UI thread.
- icebraining 14y agoThere can be many threads per process, but plenty of applications ("Generally") are still single-threaded or even if they aren't, they only use one for the UI.
