Querying the state of a channel at worst leads to race conditions and at best leads to bad design. You're only supposed to close a channel from the producer side. So if you're the only writer, then you know if you've closed the channel or not. If there are multiple writers, then need to be coordinated in some way. Typically, they would alt! against reading from a control channel and writing to the output channel. When you get a shutdown signal from the control channel, you stop writing. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
