pub struct RootedThread(_);
Expand description

An instance of Thread which is rooted. See the Thread type for documentation on interacting with the type.

Implementations

Creates a new virtual machine with an empty global environment

Converts a RootedThread into a raw pointer allowing to be passed through a C api. The reference count for the thread is not modified

Converts a raw pointer into a RootedThread. The reference count for the thread is not modified so it is up to the caller to ensure that the count is correct.

Methods from Deref<Target = Thread>

Spawns a new gluon thread with its own stack and heap but while still sharing the same global environment

Roots self, extending the lifetime of this thread until at least the returned RootedThread is droppped

👎Deprecated since 0.7.0: Use gluon::import::add_extern_module instead

Creates a new global value at name. Fails if a global called name already exists.

Examples

Load the factorial rust function into gluon and evaluate factorial 5

fn factorial(x: i32) -> i32 {
    if x <= 1 { 1 } else { x * factorial(x - 1) }
}


let vm = new_vm();

vm.define_global("factorial", primitive!(1, factorial)).unwrap();

let result = Compiler::new()
    .run_expr::<i32>(&vm, "example", "factorial 5")
    .unwrap_or_else(|err| panic!("{}", err));
let expected = (120, Type::int());

assert_eq!(result, expected);

Retrieves the global called name.

Examples

Bind the (+) function in gluon’s prelude standard library to an add function in rust



let vm = new_vm();

Compiler::new()
    .run_expr::<OpaqueValue<&Thread, Hole>>(&vm, "example",
        r#" import! std.int "#)
    .unwrap_or_else(|err| panic!("{}", err));
let mut add: FunctionRef<fn(i32, i32) -> i32> =
    vm.get_global("std.int.num.(+)").unwrap();
let result = add.call(1, 2);
assert_eq!(result, Ok(3));
Errors

if the global does not exist or it does not have the correct type.

Retrieves type information about the type name. Types inside records can be accessed using dot notation (std.prelude.Option)

Returns the gluon type that was bound to T

Registers the type T as being a gluon type called name with generic arguments args

Locks and retrieves the global environment of the vm

Retrieves the macros defined for this vm

Runs a garbage collection.

Pushes a value to the top of the stack

Removes the top value from the stack
