    Description

      The Clownfish bootstrap process isn't thread-safe. For a lock-free solution:

      • Class_bootstrap must set the global class pointer at the very end, possibly destroying the class if another thread set the pointer before.
      • The runtime inheritance cycle detection must be reworked, or simply left out. It only protects from a really contrived scenario.
      • Probably other things I missed.

      We could also consider a global lock using a locking facility provided by the host language.
