crossbeam VS osxcross

Crossbeam isn't async[0]. It can multiplex with itself (via the `select!` macro), but not with anything else.

Shooting from the hip, crossbeam might be a good candidate for understanding the thread safety aspects of Rust. I kind of feel like this is probably "too big" of a project if you're just learning, but I can't think of something smaller off the top of my head that would be suitable.

I am familiar with crossbeam channels, but now I need to work with python, and I was looking for a similar library.

In the C++ example you create a naive mpsc queue using a std queue and a mutex, while in the rust example you use `std::sync::mpsc` which is now implemented internally using https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam .

There are more in the ecosystem like in https://crates.io/crates/crossbeam

The crossbeam crate offers a powerful alternative to standard channels with support for the Select operation, timeouts, and more.

If you actually have MacOS device and can install Xcode and so on then you can proceed here and read the instructions.

Have you considered using a dockerized osxcross cross compiler toolchain in your CI? Granted it is a bit clunky to setup...

Technically it's possible, but possibly not legal:

> Please ensure you have read and understood the Xcode license terms before continuing.

According to the EULA you may only use the SDK on Apple-branded computers. But you can use Linux to cross compile to Apple.

is there a way to cross compile without vms? something similar to https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross?

If you figure out how to get SDL working, one possibility is to develop on Linux, then use mingw-w64 to cross compile from Linux to windows, then use osxcross to cross-compile from Windows to OSX.

Thank you osxcross for creating the path forward

This is actually a solved problem, using osxcross[0]. The experience is honestly very smooth, and we don't require any apple proprietary binaries. The only thing apple-proprietary is their SDK (containing the header files for compiling, and tbd files for linking), which can be downloaded from apple's website (at least if you have a developer account), or from various GitHub projects archiving them.
