[erlang-questions] erlang:exit/1 and erlang:exit/2

[Leo Liu]

Hi there,

Could someone help me understand the implementation of erlang:exit/1?

  BIF_RETTYPE exit_1(BIF_ALIST_1)
  {
      BIF_P->fvalue = BIF_ARG_1;  /* exit value */
      BIF_ERROR(BIF_P, EXC_EXIT);
  }

which is pretty simple and I am not sure how it propagates the exit
signal. erlang:exit/2 on the contrary is full of details.

Thanks,
Leo
