Re: [trivial-timeout-devel] clozure cl doesn't recognize dynamic variables

Code enclosed with WITH-TIMEOUT on CCL runs in separate thread and this behavior is correct and documented (regarding threads and dynamic environment), SBCL threads and dynamic environment works the same but WITH-TIMEOUT on SBCL is implemented on top of SBCL timers. This is probably bug in trivial-timeout context but i don't think that there is easy&good solution here ...

Thanks for the explanation, that all makes sense, luckily there is an easy enough workaround... #+begin_src lisp (let ((new-value *echo*)) (with-timeout (1) ... new-value ...)) #+end_src -- Eric -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
