"Typically, in an interactive listener, the invocation of abort returns to the Lisp reader phase of the Lisp read-eval-print loop, though in some batch or multi-processing situations there may be situations in which having it kill the running process is more appropriate." are you sure that it is a good idea to make it returning to a random point in program (after with-transaction) rather than to a command prompt (what people would expect)? and if people want to abort transaction only, can't they just call abort-transaction? ??>> how does it lose the controller LPP> After invoking this restart, the controller is gone. I don't know LPP> exactly why, but I suppose the reason is that the current transaction LPP> isn't aborted. maybe we'll better fix this bug? non-local control transfer should correctly abort transaction. i think "controller lost" is only possible when when something awful happens to the socket. i can't reproduce "controller lost" via abort restart. i.e. i run such code (ele:with-transaction () (make-instance 'something) (error "barf")) and when SLIME debugger opens, i choose ABORT restart, and it returns to REPL. and works quite fine afterwards.. if you have that "controller lost" thing reproducible, please share how to reproduce this _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
