lanes/tests/func_is_string.lua, branch v4.0.0

Improved func_is_string unit test

2025-08-21T07:13:35+00:00

Change lane:join() return values

2025-06-05T14:03:22+00:00

* when no error is raised in the lane, lane:join() now precedes the lane returned values with true * lane body is no longer forced to return something when used with join() * adjusted all relevant unit tests accordingly

Give a name to all lanes in the tests

New lane:__close does a lane:join()

2024-06-11T12:56:52+00:00

* changed lanes.configure signature to receive a table instead of individual parameters

2012-02-18T13:08:52+00:00

* added support for an on_state_create callback called to load custom functions in a state in addition to the base libraries

* process exit change: close everything at GC when main state closes, not when atexit() handlers are processed

* Lua 5.2-style module: * module() is no longer used to implement lanes.lua * a global "lanes" variable is no longer created when the module is required * the Lanes module table is returned instead * Lanes must be initialized before used: * the first occurence of 'require "lanes"' produces a minimal interface that only contains a configure() function * the remainder of the interface is made available once this function is called * subsequent calls to configure() do nothing * configure() controls the number of keeper states and the startup of timers * LuaJIT 2 compatibility * non-Lua functions are no longer copied by creating a C closure from a C pointer, but through 2-way lookup tables * this means that if a lane function body pulls non-Lua functions, the lane generator description must contain the list of libraries and modules that exports them * introduces a change in configuration .globals management: contents are copied *after* std libs are loaded * new .required configuration entry to list modules that must be require()'ed before lane body is transferred * lane:cancel() wakes up waiting lindas like what is done at lane shutdown

Take all code from Asko Kauppi's SVN server, and push it here so that the github repository becomes the official Lanes source codebase.

Note that Asko's SVN server holds version 2.0.9, whereas this is version 2.0.10, but I don't see any real need to update SVN if it is to become deprecated. Next steps: - upgrade the rockspec to the latest version - make the html help available online somewhere Signed-off-by: Benoit Germain
