Re: [slime-devel] how to interrupt & kill function execution

Hi, I have a question about how to kill/stop/terminate the function execution while using slime and clisp?

`C-c C-b', i.e. slime-interrupt, interrupts the Lisp process. In the REPL buffer it's also bound to C-c C-c. This should then pop up the sldb buffer. For CLISP, Emacs sends a SIGINT signal to the process. I don't know whether sending SIGINT actually works on Windows, though. Interrupting a multithreaded Lisp works a bit differently: we send a :interrupt message to our "control thread" and the control thread interrupts the "worker" thread. Helmut.
