Function

Summary

Returns a list of the reasons why a Lisp process has stopped.

Package

mp

Signature

process-arrest-reasons process => reasons

Arguments

process

A process.

Values

reasons

A list of reasons.

Description

The function process-arrest-reasons returns a list of the reasons why a Lisp process has stopped. A process is inactive if it has any arrest reasons.

Use of (setf mp:process-arrest-reasons) is deprecated. You should use process-stop instead. If you set the arrest reasons of the current process, this causes the current process to stop immediately, before returning from mp:process-arrest-reasons (like process-stop).

Compatibility note

The immediate stopping behavior of (setf mp:process-arrest-reasons) is different from LispWorks 5.0 and previous versions.
