Lane cancellation rework

2019-04-26T10:20:06+00:00

opt.cancelstep is gone, hook is installed by lane:cancel() if requested lane:cancel() rework (see doc)

version 3.6.3

2013-08-13T06:12:05+00:00

* lane:cancel() only causes cancel_test() to return true but won't interrupt execution of the lane during linda operations * more explicit errors when trying to transfer unknown source functions (with new configure option verbose_errors) * default options wrap allocator around a mutex when run by LuaJIT

version 3.4.0

2012-09-26T19:22:30+00:00

* new method linda:dump() that outputs the full contents of a linda as a table, also linked to __towatch for Decoda support * linda:receive() API change! * instead of [val, key], linda:receive( timeout, key) returns [key, val] * instead of [val, [...]], linda:receive( timeout, linda.batched key) returns [key, val[, ...]] this is to unify the return values of regular and batched mode, and to be able to tell when batched mode is interrupted by a lane cancellation * fixed Lua 5.2 build to take into account the "loaders"->"searchers" name change in 'package' module. * a bit of html cleanup and added some infos in the documentation regarding the Lanes internals
