Save Lisp and Die

If you are running SBCL and are using threads, this is the way I found out that works for me to stop the threads before saving the core.

(dolist (thread (sb-thread:list-all-threads))

    (unless (eq thread sb-thread:*current-thread*)

      (sb-thread:terminate-thread thread)))

 

then you can run...

(sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die "core-file")

 

I am using SBCL 1.0.36 64bit on a Linux Ubuntu 9.10 64bit.
