Terminate() does not terminate threads, it terminates the interpreter instance. The termination call can only be made on the original thread that created the interpreter instance and will wait for any other threads to terminate before shutting down the instance.
Halt() can be issued from any thread, and does not even require an AttachThread() call since it is a method of the instance context. There's no way to determine if there are any threads active on the instance, and I really doubt it is safely possible. The legacy APIs can be used, but I really don't recommend their usage. They really just map down into the appropriate Halt() calls. Rick On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 5:26 AM, Rony G.
