<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Marcel, all</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve sent an updated #terminate Kernel-jar.1476: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- fixed the synchronization between the terminating process and the process that invoked the termination.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- added further protection against multiple termination (it makes the code uglier but I can't help it)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- improved the comment (it's still too long and insufficient though ;) )</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Warning: When terminating a process from the UI (Workspace) one must take into account that an error during the unwind will freeze the UI (because the UI waits for the completion of the termination) - this is expected but scary :)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you run this in the Workspace:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> p := [ [Semaphore new wait] ensure: [1/0] ] fork.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And then terminate by hand in the Workspace:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> p terminate</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the UI freezes; after Cmd + . recovery the ZeroDivide pops up as expected.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Better way to terminate p in the Workspace is indeed: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> [p terminate] fork</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ZeroDivide pops up right away ad both processes terminate after you dismiss the popup window.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(To close the debugger window use Proceed or 'terminate ' from the window menu; Abandon doesn’t work for some reason unrelated to #terminate)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For comparison: in 5.3 the above example ended up as an "Unwind error".</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,</p>
