Spent the day trying to solve the dining philosophers problem in Uxntal, and got absolutely nowhere.

@neauoire it seems to be a cool issue! the c++ implementation is already cryptic, i guess changing language is even harder... you have the concept of semaphore?

@frankiezafe I do, but it's implemented as part of the solution, not at the VM stage. I don't have memory locks in place at the moment, but it hasn't hindred me so far

@nil yeah pretty much, I've done the easier exercises already. I haven't implemented all the different processes tho, just enough so I could solve the problem.

@neauoire @nil Please let us know what happens next. Should be interesting to read about the tradeoffs you considered and the decisions you made.

@neauoire solve, meaning what?

Construct a system that suffers from deadlock? Manually fix that system by imposing a lock ordering in the application? Detect/prevent deadlocking lock acquisitions, in the locking library?
