[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44485] GUI: File | Exit from main menu doesn't work when Octave is busy

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #44485 (project octave):

Sorry, got sidetracked...

Attached is a new version of the patch which simply adds a way to gracefully
quit the thread running the interpreter.  Let me know if it works for you.

If you are still seeing a non-zero signal, there is a pre-processor
conditional in octave-qt-link.cc:


void
octave_qt_link::quit_interpreter (void)
{
#if 1
  main_thread->quit ();
#else
  delete main_thread;
#endif
}


that you may try changing to see if that helps any.

If this works, we'll at least have a means to force termination gracefully. 
Then we'll open the issue to the discussion list to see what makes the most
sense to do in terms of forced shutdown sequence.

(file #33391)
