exited(Term)
as
result state for thread_join/2.
If the thread has the attribute
detached(true)
it terminates, but its exit status cannot be
retrieved using thread_join/2,
making the value of Term irrelevant. The Prolog stacks and C
thread are reclaimed.
The current implementation is based on the reserved
unwind(
exception. This
implies that, unlike the previous implementation that was based on the C
pthread_exit() function, the implementation is safe from the
Prolog point of view. However, it is limited by the semantics of the
unwind exceptions. See section
4.10.1 for details.
thread_exit(Term)
)
This predicate raises a permission_error
if it is known
that the thread cannot handle this case.
