Possible bug in createThread in lib.lua?

[dx876234]

When wrapping the thread function in createThread it seems to me the possible arguments are lost and not transfered to the thread function, I suspect the:

Code: Select all

	local wrapped = function (...) coroutine.yield(); func(); end;

	local co = coroutine.create(wrapped);

	local status, err = coroutine.resume(co, ...);

In reality should be as follows to pass arguments to the given function?

Code: Select all

	local wrapped = function (...) coroutine.yield(); func(...); end;  -- NOTE: "..." in func argument

	local co = coroutine.create(wrapped);

	local status, err = coroutine.resume(co, ...);

I think you're right. I guess something must have changed somewhere with the update to Lua 5.2 as it used to work.

Thanks for letting me know.

Upgraded to 1.03, seems this bug is present there, must have leaked between releases

Are you sure you updated lib.lua? Seems to work for me.

Code: Select all

local function thread(num)
  for i = 1,10 do
    print("Test: ", num);
    coroutine.yield();
  end
end
 
createThread("test2", thread, 1234);
-- Creates a thread that will continually print out "Test: 1234" 10 times then kill itself.

function main()
	while(true) do
		yrest(1);
	end
end
startMacro(main, true);

Edit: This hasn't actually been officially released. It's in the changelog for 1.04, which has a number of improvements but is still far off from a release.
