Killing threads during development.

I've been developing with external multi-threaded libraries recently.
I find it difficult to use the Python prompt to experiment with these
libraries because there isn't any way to just shutdown all threads and
try things again.

If I try to exit the prompt with background threads running, then
Python hangs and I have to kill the process to exit. Ctrl C won't do
it.

Is there some way to brutally kill all background threads? Just for
development purposes?

Note:
This isn't an insurmountable problem. If I write test scripts and run
them from the command line I can still kill them easily. I just find it
frustrating not be to able to explore interactively while working with
a new library.

hi, I have a Parent child design of a multi threaded application in C#. My issue is I want the parent class to be able abort or stop the child threads. I tried abort from the parent, then the child goes to ThreadAbort Requested state, and not abort state. But when I call the abort method from the child Thread itself, it throws ThreadAbortException and aborts. Why is it, that this does not work the same way when being aborted by the...

Hello, I have an application that processes thousands of files each day. The filenames and various related file information is retrieved, related filenames are associate and placed in a linked list within a single object, which is then placed on a stack(This cuts down thread creation and deletions roughly by a factor of 4). I create up to 12 threads, which then process a single object off of the stack. I use a loop with a boolean...

This is not about starting a fight but an observation that seems to be proving itself on its own merit and is therefore simply a point of conjecture. I did not get serious about writing software until I learned ASP/VBS (if that can be called writing software) as my focus was and remains for the most part developing for the web. Even though I have had a programming class in C which I somehow passed, JavaScript always gave me the heeby...

Hello, I've got an issue where a process in a third party application has a dll which while exiting sort of freezes and runs away with processor cycles. i've written a block of code so that I can drill down into the process, and get the offending Thread's ID (since the only ones that will have the issue have higher User processor Time). But, I can't figure out how to have my .Net app 'kill' or 'suspend' a Thread

Hi I have a server listening and when it receives an object deserilalises it. Reads it, does whatever it needs, reserialises it and then broadcasts it to clients (depending on what object was sent, found when it deseriliased it). The problem is this: 1) Server receives object, deserialises 2) reads and serilaises again

I can't see that approach scaling particularly well but I guess there's no choice. Does anyone think it likely that the threading...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
