Hello, after lots of attempts in trying to create a multithreading module in Lua I stepped with lua_newthread and finally made a tiny and primitive collaborative multithreading program. I'll leave it here for your purposes.
Type TLuaThread
Field ParentState:Byte Ptr
Field State:Byte Ptr
Field Code:String
Function RunThread:Object(LT:Object)
Local LuaObject:TLuaThread = TLuaThread(LT)
If LuaObject Then
LuaObject.State = lua_newthread(LuaObject.ParentState)
luaL_dostring LuaObject.State, LuaObject.Code
Local Error:String = lua_tostring(LuaObject.State, -1)
If Len(Error) > 0 Then Print "Error: "+Error
EndIf
EndFunction
Method Run:TThread()
Local Thread:TThread = CreateThread(TLuaThread.RunThread, Self)
EndMethod
Method Create:TLuaThread(ParentState:Byte Ptr,Code:String)
Self.ParentState = ParentState
Self.Code = Code
Self.Run()
Return Self
EndMethod
EndType
Function lua_CreateThread(L:Byte Ptr)
Local Code:String = luaL_checkstring(L, 1)
If Len(Code) > 0 Then
New TLuaThread.Create(L, Code)
EndIf
EndFunction
As I said it's very primitive because it just contains the BlitzMax function, you have to register it yourself with lua_register to be able to use it in Lua. GL!
