lanes/tests, branch v3.6.4

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 3.5.0

2013-01-30T19:28:47+00:00

* new: API lanes.require(), use it instead of regular require() for modules that export C functions you need to send over. * new: lanes no longer require 'lanes.core' by default in every created state. Use {required={"lanes.core"}} if you need to transfer lanes functions. * internal: because of the above, reworked the timer implementation to remove upvalue-dependency on lanes.core * new: API lanes.timer_lane, to be able to operate on timer lane if need be * improved: if a module is a full userdata, scan its metatable for function database population * improved: on_state_create can be a Lua function * changed: on_state_create is called after the base libraries are loaded * package[loaders|searchers] is no longer transfered as function naming depends on slot order * internal: changed separator from '.' to '/' in lookup databases to be able to distinguish search levels and dot coming from module names * added some mode debug spew * updated tests to reflect the above changes

version 3.4.4

2013-01-26T19:21:39+00:00

* bugfix: take into account the fact that "coroutine" is no longer part of base library in Lua 5.2 * bugfix: if "bit32" was listed in the libraries, it wouldn't open (library list parsing failing on digits) * bugfix: Use luaL_requiref() to open standard libraries in Lua 5.2 as we should * bugfix: any Lua state created by Lanes reuses the allocator function of the originating state * bugfix: don't call on_state_create() while GC is suspended during lua state initialization

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
