Struct rlua::Thread

pub struct Thread<'lua>(_);

Handle to an internal Lua thread (or coroutine).

Implementations

impl<'lua> Thread<'lua>

pub fn resume<A, R>(&self, args: A) -> Result<R>where A: ToLuaMulti<'lua>, R: FromLuaMulti<'lua>,

Resumes execution of this thread.

Equivalent to coroutine.resume.

Passes args as arguments to the thread. If the coroutine has called coroutine.yield, it will return these arguments. Otherwise, the coroutine wasn’t yet started, so the arguments are passed to its main function.

If the thread is no longer in Active state (meaning it has finished execution or encountered an error), this will return Err(CoroutineInactive), otherwise will return Ok as follows:

If the thread calls coroutine.yield, returns the values passed to yield. If the thread returns values from its main function, returns those.

Examples

let thread: Thread = lua_context.load(r#"
    coroutine.create(function(arg)
        assert(arg == 42)
        local yieldarg = coroutine.yield(123)
        assert(yieldarg == 43)
        return 987
    end)
"#).eval().unwrap();

assert_eq!(thread.resume::<_, u32>(42).unwrap(), 123);
assert_eq!(thread.resume::<_, u32>(43).unwrap(), 987);

// The coroutine has now returned, so `resume` will fail
match thread.resume::<_, u32>(()) {
    Err(Error::CoroutineInactive) => {},
    unexpected => panic!("unexpected result {:?}", unexpected),
}

pub fn status(&self) -> ThreadStatus

Gets the status of the thread.
