Work_issues: investigate ECL interrupt handling |
--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Presently, ecllib does not enable signals when executing ecl code. This
makes LISP code uninterruptable:
{{{
sage: from sage.libs.ecl import *
sage: ecl_eval("(setf i 0)")
<ECL: 0>
sage: inf_loop=ecl_eval("(defun infinite() (loop (incf i)))")
sage: inf_loop() #DON'T DO THIS! (bye bye)
}}}
The signal handling in ECL should be studied a bit more to ensure that we
are safely interacting with it. The attached patch just inserts
{{{sig_on()/sig_off()}}} around the possibly slow parts. This seems to
work, but I suspect it might leave ECL in an inconsistent state.
