In my application, I can open several windows. Each window is an independent unit and will send-off three agents to do background work. When I close a window, I stop the three threads from running, but the thread count never goes down when I display it by (println "Thread count is" (Thread/activeCount)).
The thread count is always increasing. When I open a new window, the thread count goes up by 3 as expected. But, when I close that window and open another window, the thread count was not diminished by the closing. If I open seveal windows in a row and then close them and open one more window, the thread count does not go up. But, if I open several more windows and reach the max thread count that I was at before, the thread count starts to go up again and will never go below that count again. I think I read that the threads are being retained to be used again when needed. So, I am not surprised at this behaviour. But, to prevent this increasing retention of threads, is there some way to release the three threads that I started when the window opened? For example, it would be nice to have a function like (shutdown agent1 agent2 agent3). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
