To stop any thread.. interrupts are send to it. And threads handle this by throwing exception so that programmer can decide what to do depending upon the kind of exception it gets. (you may get different exceptions)
Since you are catching the exception, your thread is never stopped.. and hence future-cancel returns false. If you throw again.. exception would unwind your while loop and stop the thread. hence.. future-cancel is able to stop the thread and returns true. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
