What is the currently implemented behavior of the remote stream in swank when the net connection breaks?
In theory, all swank threads should be killed and all swank streams should be closed. It's not easy to handle errors across multiple threads, so I don't know if the current implementation actually does what it should. We had many bugs in this area, and I would be surprised if we fixed them all.
I started a long running function and at some point the network went down. The remote lisp is still running and I managed to reconnect through tty because it was running in "screen". I am trying to restart the swank server. I am just wondering if swank thread is still running or is blocked on output. Is there a way to reconnect, like in 'screen. This is in allegro CL.
You could try swank::restart-server and after that M-x slime-connect.
