Subject: Clarification re exceptions and termination

Bishnupriya,

I am assuming that is it legal to call kill on a handle for a method process that is not currently executing, in which case the method process will be terminated (even though there is no call stack to be unwound). Please confirm.

A thread process that catches an exception (from throw_it) may call wait and subsequently continue execution, or may return from the function and thus terminate.

We have agreed that throwing an exception (with throw_it) within a method process is permitted but has no effect except that an implementation may issue a warning. I am assuming that calling throw_it on a method process will NOT terminate the method process instance (unlike kill). Please confirm.

Thanks,

John A
