System hangs when running goxc about goxc

[laher]

Hi Pavan, I have made an initial change which should make it work for you. Essentially it still parallelizes but it throttles the launching of build tasks. It takes into account the --max-processors flag (this was my original idea), which by the default takes account of runtime.NumCPU.

• By default it will invoke (NumCPUs-1) builds at once, before initiating more builds.
• If you use the flag goxc --max-processors=1 xc, it will just invoke one platform at a time.

Hopefully this should stop your 'hanging' problem. Please test & let me know the outcome - does it work OK now, did you need to specify --max-processors to get it to work?

... I'm also interested to know your host platform - what OS are you using, and how many CPUs do you have (as reported by runtime.NumCPU)?

Works now.

Plain old goxc works with a normal .goxc.local.json. Didn't have to specify a --max-processors flag.

I am on Debian with 2 CPU cores. 4GB memory in total.

Thanks for the fix. 😄
