Latent functions

["Björklund, Peter" <Peter.Bjorklund@...>]

How do I make latent functions in Lua?

When I am inside a c-function (called by Lua) I want to "pause" execution
and resume that at a later time. The function that called lua in the first
place should return (lua_dostring, lua_dofile etc)

Pseudo-code:
--------------------------------------
int threadId;

static int aLatentFunction( lua_State *L )
{
  threadId = lua_pause( L );

  return 0;
}

main()
{
  lua_dostring( L, "aLatentFunction() \n anotherFunc()" );
   
  // dostring returned, even though anotherFunc isn't called yet.
   
  lua_resume( L, threadId ); // anotherFunc will be called
}
---------------------------------------
