[erlang-questions] Sending messages to a process from the port driver from a separate thread
Zhemzhitsky Sergey
Is it legal to send messages to any erlang process by means of driver_send_term from a separate thread started by erl_drv_thread_create?
I.e. can I send messages to the process not from the port driver callback, but at any time from the function specified when invoking erl_drv_thread_create?
Best Regards,
Sergey

I'm no expert on the code in question, but after a brief look in
io.c:driver_deliver_term it would seem that you can do it from not
only scheduler threads, given that you are using the SMP emulator.
