The OwnerTerminated exception is thrown when a worker attempts to
receive a message to notify it about the fact that its owner has been
terminated.
There are ways to deal with the situation:
- The worker can catch this particular exception
- The worker can catch this exception as a message
- The owner can send a special YouAreDone :) message to the worker so it
no longer attempts to receive messages and exits gracefully
- More?
Here is the second method as described in TDPL's concurrency chapter,
which is available online:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1609144
void writer()
{
bool done = false;
while( !done )
{
receive(
(Tid id, int i)
{
writeln("Secondary thread: ", i);
},
(OwnerTerminated exc) // <----- as a message
{
done = true;
}
);
}
}
