<h4>Description</h4>
<pre>threaded_exit(Goal)
threaded_exit(Goal, Tag)</pre>
<p>
Retrieves the result of proving <code>Goal</code> in a new thread. This predicate blocks execution until the reply is sent to the <em>this</em> message queue by the thread executing the goal. When there is no thread proving the goal, the predicate generates an exception. This predicate is non-deterministic, providing access to any alternative solutions of its argument.
</p>
<p>
The argument of this predicate should be a <em>variant</em> of the argument of the corresponding <a href="threaded_call1_2.html">threaded_call/1</a> call. When the predicate argument is subsumed by the <a href="threaded_call1_2.html">threaded_call/1</a> call argument, the <code>threaded_exit/1</code> call will succeed iff its argument is a solution of the (more general) goal.
</p>
<p>
The variant <code>threaded_exit/2</code> accepts a threaded call identifier tag generated by the calls to the <a title="Consult reference manual" href="threaded_call1_2.html"><code>threaded_call/2</code></a> and <a title="Consult reference manual" href="threaded_once1_2.html"><code>threaded_once/2</code></a> predicates. Tags shall be considered as an opaque term; users shall not rely on its type.
</p>
<h4>Template and modes</h4>
<pre>threaded_exit(+callable)
threaded_exit(+callable, +nonvar)</pre>
<h4>Errors</h4>
<dl>
<dt>Goal is a variable:</dt>
<dd><code>instantiation_error</code></dd>
<dt>Goal is neither a variable nor a callable term:</dt>
<dd><code>type_error(callable, Goal)</code></dd>
<dt>no thread is running for proving Goal:</dt>
<dd><code>existence_error(goal_thread, Goal)</code></dd>
<dt>Tag is a variable:</dt>
<dd><code>instantiation_error</code></dd>
</dl>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<dl>
<dt>To retrieve an asynchronous goal proof result:</dt>
<dd><code>threaded_exit(Goal)</code></dd>
<dt>To retrieve an asynchronous message to <em>self</em> result:</dt>
<dd><code>threaded_exit(::Goal)</code></dd>
<dt>To retrieve an asynchronous message result:</dt>
<dd><code>threaded_exit(Object::Goal)</code></dd>
