Re: ANN: sleep() patch for Lua 4.0

[Steve Dekorte <steve@...>]

This is great. Is there any way to execute n number of instructions 
before going to sleep? Is there a hook that get's called when sleep is 
called?

I'm interested in playing around with actor-based programming techniques 
in Lua where every object has it's own "thread" of execution.  Real 
threads would be much to heavy, but emulating threads by putting an 
object to sleep and switching to the next active object might work.
