Ship it! Good find. I wonder: (a) is there some general advice we should give to people implementing Processes (e.g., "always provide a destructor that does terminate/wait" -- that is probably too broad though). Would be nice to add this to the libprocess README. (b) does this problem occur anywhere else? and/or is there a way to detect it? - Neil Conway On Nov. 19, 2015, 9:51 p.m., Joseph Wu wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
