checkEscape

 

 

Overview

The checkEscape check to see if an escape request has been made, if true, AIS will exit the current running Lisp code back to the console level.

Usage

The checkEscape function is used to exit a running Lisp program IFF an escape request has been made.

For instance the following Lisp code shows how to check for escape in a long running program. Every 1,000 iterations the program will check for an escape request. If this is NOT done, then the AIS executable may be unresponsive to escape requests.

(defun foo(Integer:N)
regs:(n)
(loop for n from 0 until N do
  (if (= (modi n 1000) 999) then (checkEscape))
  (writeln n)
  ) ; end loop
true)

 

Syntax

Expression:

(checkEscape) ;; Exit to console level if an escape request is issued
