I have a question regarding thread-interrupt!. Does the thunk used as the interrupt body executed in the interrupted thread, or in the interrupting thread?
I can't imagine that it would run in the interrupting thread: what would it do, then, beyond (define (thread-interrupt! t p) (p))?
I think that it is ran in the interrupting thread because I ran into concurrency problems that were (I believe) due to fact that the interrupted thread seemed to take back the control while the interrupt body was not finished... is it possible? o_O
What are you using THREAD-INTERRUPT! for?
