[PD-dev] PD multi-threads and multi-instances - First results

[Pierre Guillot]

FYI: I reported the 1st issue on GitHub (
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/129) and I create a PR that
solves the 2nd on libpd (https://github.com/libpd/libpd/pull/178)

> Now, I try to use it in a multi-threads context with libpd. The idea is to
> detach a new thread each time I want to perform an action on an instance (I
> could have use one thread per instance and signals but it is simpler for a
> 1st approach). I encountered 2 issues:
> - pdinstance_free crashes (I'll investigate the problem)
> - libpd_openfile crashes. It seems that sys_lock() does not really lock
> and the other instances can pass it before the 1st one has called
> sys_unlock().
> My libpd tests are in the folder samples/c/pdtest_thread in my libpd fork
