[tcljava-user] How to kill a jacl thread

[Jared H. <ho...@mo...>]

Is there a good way to kill a jacl thread quickly from another thread?
I'm launching a large script and that has many calls to custom java code
(some of which take a while themselves), and sometimes I want to just
kill the whole thread off and start another one.  The problem is that
the doOneEvent call seems to not exit until the script is complete and
so I can't find a good way of getting the run thread to exit.  It seems
that all other ways of exiting a thread have been deprecated.  Ideally
I'd like to stop the thread dead in its tracks in the middle of a java
call, but that's probably beyond the scope of this mailing list.  A
reasonable alternative is to stop between evaluations in the jacl
interpreter, but I need some sort of low-level hook inside the
doOneEvent call.  Does this already exist?

 

Thanks
