-- APPENDUD.LUA
--
-- Lanes version for John Belmonte's challenge on Lua list (about finalizers):
-- <http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2008-02/msg00243.html>
--
-- Needs Lanes >= 2.0.3

-- This sample is with the 'finalize/guard' patch applied (new keywords):
--
--function appendud(tab, ud)
-- tab:beginupdate() finalize tab:endupdate() end
-- ud:lock() finalize ud:unlock() end
-- for i = 1,#ud do
-- tab[#tab+1] = ud[i]
-- end

end
io.stderr:write "Ending"
return tab -- need to return 'tab' since we're running in a separate thread
-- ('tab' is passed over lanes by value, not by reference)
end
local t,err= lanes.gen( appendud )( _tab, _ud ) -- create & launch a thread
assert(t)
assert(not err)
-- test
t:join() -- Need to explicitly wait for the thread, since 'ipairs()' does not
-- value the '__index' metamethod (wouldn't it be cool if it did..?)
