Hi Brendan !

>Why not just use NSPR?  What is the conflict with your own Runtime
Environment?

I am using a proprietary middleware that wraps out all os related
calls. The middleware also provides some additional functionality
related to messaging. In fact the _only_ thread that calls Spidermonkey
is a message processing task and the system ensures that this task is
not preempted.

As per the criteria "You need to compile with JS_THREADSAFE if you
access the JS API from more than one thread at once ", i should not
need to use JS_THREADSAFE as the JS API is called only from one
thread... and to make sure nothing  funny was going on.. i ensure that
calls to JS API are wrapped with mutexes.... ( the system would have
ensured this anyway.. but i did this as an additional check)

Now the thing is that if i need NSPR... then i need to implement it for
my middleware... which is something i am not very high on..;-) for
understandable reasons.. but if someone can confirm that it is __the
only__ way forward.. i will do it... ( or rather will have to do it )

regards,
Jaspreet
