[Chicken-users] thread-wait-for-i/o! and thread-terminate!

[Chris Vine]

Hi,

Does anyone know if thread-terminate! can safely be called on a
thread which is blocking on thread-wait-for-i/o!, without putting
chicken's internals into an inconsistent state.  I have been doing so
without any noticeable adverse effects, but I wondered if this was just
because I have been lucky.

I realise that user code must take into account the effects of the
immediate aborting of the thread caused by thread-terminate! (which the
code in question does): I am interested in the safety of chicken's
implementation of thread-wait-for-i/o! with respect to
thread-terminate!.
