[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]

Unfortunately, I get 2 different results depending on what I've passed to coroutine.create(). If I pass process() , the code runs to the same point (where I call the lua function that will call coroutine.resume), however the pcall fails when I pass process() to coroutine.create. However, I would expect that just passing process is proper, it still does not function as I would assume. I have a proof of concept application that does this just fine (with all the lua in a single file) and it uses lua_dofile instead of lua_dobuffer. 

Anyone have any thoughts as to why?

Oddly enough though, in another article it shows the following code:

local thread_id = 0
local threads = {}

function fn(thread)
   thread_id = thread_id + 1
   threads[thread_id] = function()
                            thread = nil
                        end
   coroutine.yield()
end

while true do
   local thread = coroutine.create(fn)
   coroutine.resume(thread, thread)
end

So I'm confused and obviously haven't played with co-routines at all :)

I don't believe so. It is created suspended, and I want it to start, but for some reason I can't resume it once it has yielded.

Shouldn't you be calling yield() instead of resume(co)?

I'm having some problems with a coroutine I create. Here is the order of things:
I create a lua_State and load 3 files into it, each containing its own function as follows: 

In file1:

function init()
  print "init"
  co = coroutine.create(process)
  coroutine.resume(co)
end

In file2:

function process()
  print "yielding the coroutine"
  coroutine.yield()
  print "running again"
end

In file3:

function callback()
  print "resuming"
  print(coroutine.resume(co))
end
Now, when I make a lua_pcall to init, the coroutine starts the process function just like I would expect. Once it yields, I run off and do some stuff in my c code, and then pcall callback to wake the coroutine back up. However the call to resume is failing. Here is my output: 

init
yielding the coroutine
c++ - doing some work
resuming
false   cannot resume non-suspended coroutine

Any ideas as to where I've gone wrong?
