Interruption of InterruptibleChannel methods

[Nicolas Geoffray]

Hi all,

Implementing the Thread.interrupt inside my vm, I noticed nothing is 
actually done inside
classpath (except for  native/jni/java-nio/gnu_java_nio_VMSelector.c) 
for dealing with
interruption of a thread executing an InterruptibleChannel method. I 
tried to look what other
VMs do, but i feel like the implementation never completely covers the 
issue (maybe I'm
wrong? Jamvm says "Full thread implementation including 
Thread.interrupt", but is the
implementation of Thread.interrupt full?).

I have the feeling that something has to be done inside ||gnu classpath 
in order for a a vm
to correctly deal with the interruption of a thread inside an 
InterruptibleChannel method.

Is this kind of discussion present elsewhere? I didn't find it in the 
archives. And the docs
in gnu classpath and vms seem like "forgiving" the issue.


Cheers,
Nicolas||
