I am still frightened by your plans, how to permit asynchronous commands in GTP. Here are some remarks and questions:
genmove is only one of many commands that the user might want to abort. We use GTP extension commands for starting life and death searches or other lengthy computations and many of them can be aborted at any time. Do you really want a sync and async version and a different abort command for each of them? Potentially every GTP command can be a candidate for aborting. If a controller provides support for engine-specific extension commands without specifically knowing what they do (like GoGui's Analyze Commands), there should still be a way to let the user send an abort request and let those commands abort that are able to. Why is it necessary that the async genmove returns an immediate response? - Markus _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
