It's the 2nd case
Basically it's for a ipc through messages, in this case we'd have no-threaded process that uses the provided module. The module creates itself the thread and calls the callback for each message.
Basically it'll just manage strings as messages are strings, the most common behaviour would be to add the messages to a queue(that must be shared with the rest of the process, this is part of the problem) but the user might do other operations on the callback that use external variables.
So I really can't see a way of isolating the user from the thread system. We'd need to share every variable at the callback and every variable at the program(to be acesible from the callback) dymanically. I don't see the way, but just wondering....
Thanks
