Thanks to heroic effort by David Jeannot,
there is a new Cocoa-based OS X devdraw that
seems to work well enough that I made it the
default even on Snow Leopard.

If you do the usual hg pull -u; ./INSTALL you'll get it.

I think the only pending Lion issue now is that
people using Xcode 4.1 don't have working threads.
I haven't tracked that down yet. I suspect the
getcontext/setcontext routines in that Xcode are
just broken.

Do you have reason to believe this is a Lion issue? I'm running
Xcode 4.1 on Snow Leopard and libthread is buggered for me,
as well (I don't currently have a Lion system to confirm it's
buggered in the same way).

No, I believe it is an Xcode 4.1 issue.
However, I don't know how to obtain
Xcode 4.1 for Snow Leopard, only Lion.
How did you get it?

Ucontext stuff was being deprecated in Leopard was my understanding and that support for it would be shoddy.

Time to roll our own? Didn't you already do this?

Thanks also to David!

Yes, as Jeff suggested, I got it through the iOS developer channel.

I did for many systems, and even did for Lion,
but then I tried the system ones and they worked well
(with Xcode 4.2).
