process-flush

Function

Package: mp

Arguments: process

This function causes process to wait forever, unless it is reset. It is not removed from the *all-processes* list. It is not unwound. Its stack-group is simply discarded.

USE OF THIS FUNCTION IS DEPRECATED.

Allegro CL has two models of multiprocessing, the :os-threads model and the non:os-threads model, so named because :os-threads is on the *features* list of versions that use it. This function is used only by the non:os-threads model. The symbol naming this function does not exist in versions using the :os-threads model. Conditionalize uses of this symbol in code that might be ported between versions with #-os-threads.

Note that in the future, all versions of Allegro CL may use the :os-threads model and code using this function will not work.

The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
