[racket-users] Surprising but convenient

[Jacob Jozef]

Hi   I start a thread printing a file. When the file will be very long (say 50 GB) the thread takes too much time and I kill it when it takes more time than I want to permit. Outside the thread I clean up. Closing the output-port before deleting the file takes much time. But to my surprise I can delete the file before closing the port, which hardly takes time. Nice. Is this intended behaviour? After deleting the file, the port remains open, but writing to it does nothing. Correct?   Thanks, Jos         -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
