Does this + by keeping track of "free running" threads (s.a. the time thread) and + cancelling them at process exit. + + Tested (2.0.2) on Linux 64,x86, OS X, WinXP. + +CHANGE 7 (bug fix) AKa 15-Oct-2008: + Recursive functions that use themselves as direct upvalue can now be + passed to other lanes, and used as a lane function. + +CHANGE 6 (bug fix) AKa 15-Oct-2008: + Added local caches of the following to src/lanes.lua (was otherwise getting + errors at least in 'tests/irayo_recursive.lua'). + + local assert= assert + local string_gmatch= assert( string.gmatch ) + local select= assert( select ) + local type= assert( type ) + local pairs= assert( pairs ) + local tostring= assert( tostring ) + local error= assert( error ) + local setmetatable= assert( setmetatable ) + local rawget= assert( rawget ) + + Thanks to Irayo for detecting and reporting this. + +CHANGE 5 (new feature): + Modifying Makefile so it's better suited to LuaRocks. + +CHANGE 4 (new feature): + Metatable copying, allowing Lua objects to be copied across lanes. + +CHANGE 3 (bug fix) AKa 5-Aug-2008: + The '__gc' method was not tied to thread userdata, at all. Caused memory + lifespan problems at least on OS X when threads were cancelled (EINVAL). + +CHANGE 2 (bug fix) AKa 5-Aug-2008: + Better calculation of timeouts, always making them absolute (even in Win32) + to allow for events that wake the lane up but don't read/write the Linda + key that it was observing. + +CHANGE 1 (bug fix) AKa 4-Aug-2008: + Signalling woke up only one waiting thread, not all. This caused i.e. + receive to not wake up if there was another thread waiting on the same + Linda object. + + PThread fix: using 'pthread_cond_broadcast()' instead of 'pthread_cond_signal()' + Win32 fix: using manual events and 'PulseEvent()' + +(end) -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
