lanes/tests, branch v3.4.3

version 3.4.3

2013-01-24T21:46:21+00:00

* raise an error if lane generator libs specification contains a lib more than once * bit32 is a valid lib name in the libs specification (silently ignored by the Lua 5.1 build) * improved lanes.nameof to search inside table- and userdata- metatables for an object's name * fixed an unwarranted error when trying to discover a function name upon a failed transfer * contents of package.[path,cpath,preload,loaders|searchers] are pulled *only once* inside keeper states at initialisation * Lua function upvalues equal to the global environment aren't copied by value, but bound to the destination's global environment especially useful for Lua 5.2 _ENV * fixed loading of base libraries that didn't create the global tables when built for Lua 5.2

Create rupval.lua

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

version 3.3.0

2012-09-10T18:41:03+00:00

* lane.status can return "killed" if lane was forcefully killed with lanes:cancel() * lane:join(): return nil, "killed" if called on a killed lane. * lane[]: produces [1] = nil, [2] = "killed" if the lane was killed * lane:join(): fixed an assertion in debug builds when joining a lane forcefully cancelled with lane:cancel( , true). * indexing a lane with a string other than "join", "cancel" or "status" raises an error. * fixed configure() to correctly apply defaults when they are missing from the provided settings * added a shutdown_timeout to control the duration Lanes will wait for graceful termination of running lanes at application shutdown. Default is 0.25. Among other things, fixes issue #31.

* fixed 'require' test script

merge commits from steve

* 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

2011-11-05T16:31:02+00:00

* 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
