rontolisp:join-thread

(rontolisp:join-thread thread)

Blocks until the thread's function returns, waits for the thread itself to die, and yields the function's value. If the thread died signalling an error, the error is re-signaled in the joining thread, so a handler-case around the join dispatches by condition type exactly like a same-thread signal.

After a join, rontolisp:thread-alive-p on the same handle answers nil.

Limitations

  • Interpreter and JVM backend only, like rontolisp:make-thread itself.
  • A value that is not a thread handle is an error.
  • There is no timed join.
