Re: Module for easy multithreading

2. Effil needs C++ compiler with C++14 standard compliance (introduced since Visual Studio 2015) because of dependency https://github.com/thephd/sol2.

About «pausablility», it basically means you can run thread like this:

local thread = effil.thread(function()

while true do

print 'Hello world'

end

return nil

end)()

And pause/resume it like this:

thread:pause() -- suspended

thread:resume() -- works again

Or even cancel:

thread:cancel() -- synchronous cancelation

thread:cancel(0) -- asynchronous cancelation

P.S.

Great thanks to ThePhD for sol2. It is really easy and nice to use wrapper.

Sorry for the top post.

Nice stuff. I like the documentation. The little comment over each part of the example code is immensely helpful. Does the system support Windows? There was nothing I saw immediately and a search of the readme page on my phone gave no hits. ‎I did see reference to vs2015 though.

I don't know about 'pausability', ‎but I've been looking forward to trying the threading model in cqueues (No windows support though).

Cheers,

Hi,

Take a look at new gorgeous lua module for multithreading - Effil.
Main feature are:
- thread safe tables.
- threads can be paused/resumed and canceled.
- FIFO channels.

Install it from luarocks: luarocks install effil
