* version 3.4.3v3.4.3Benoit Germain2013-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | * 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
* fix application shutdown crash by not registering anything with atexit()v3.4.0Benoit Germain2012-11-211-0/+9

* version 3.4.0Benoit Germain2012-09-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | * 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
* lanes version 3.2.0v3.2.0Benoit Germain2012-08-221-1/+24
| | | | | * keeper internals implemented in C instead of Lua for better performances * fixed arguments checks in linda:limit() and linda:set()
* fix possible crash at application shutdown when a race condition causes ↵Benoit Germain2012-08-101-1/+0
| | | | linda objects to be collected after the keeper states are cleaned up.
* * changed lanes.configure signature to receive a table instead of individual ↵Benoit Germain2012-02-181-1/+1
| | | | | | parameters * 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 ↵Benoit Germain2011-11-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* * linda uses a fast FIFO implementation to speed up data exchangesBenoit Germain2011-04-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | * new linda:count() method * new linda batched data read mode * proper key type check in all linda methods * fix setup-vc.cmd to support Visual Studio 2010 and Windows 7 64 bits * bugfix: release keeper state mutex at desinit
* Make the number of internal keeper states selectable by an optional ↵Benoit Germain2011-02-211-1/+1

* * keeper.lua is now embedded in text form instead of bytecode to improve ↵Benoit Germain2011-02-181-0/+18
LuaJIT2-compatibility (but this is not enough). * moved keeper-related code in a separate source file
