- TimeoutState uses nanoseconds rather than milliseconds. While this is
slightly less efficient on Windows, it's a) not the bottleneck of Lua
execution and b) we need a monotonic counter, otherwise we could
fail to terminate computers if the time changes.
- Add an exception handler to all threads.
- Document several classes a little better - I'm not sure how useful
all of these are, but _hopefully_ it'll make the internals a little
more accessible.
- Move state management (turnOn, shutdown, etc...) event handling and
the command queue into a ComputerExecutor
- This means the computer thread now just handles running "work" on
computer executors, rather than managing a separate command queue +
requeuing it.
- Instead of setting soft/hard timeouts on the ILuaMachine, we instead
provide it with a TimeoutState instance. This holds the current abort
flags, which can then be polled within debug hooks.
This means the Lua machine has to do less state management, but also
allows a more flexible implementation of aborts.
- Soft aborts are now handled by the TimeoutState - we track when the
task was started, and now only need to check we're more than 7s since
then.
Note, these timers work with millisecond granularity, rather than
nano, as this invokes substantially less overhead.
- Instead of having n runners being observed with n managers, we now
have n runners and 1 manager (or Monitor).
The runners are now responsible for pulling work from the queue. When
the start to execute a task, they set the time execution commenced.
The monitor then just checks each runner every 0.1s and handles hard
aborts (or killing the thread if need be).
- Rename unload -> close to be a little more consistent
- Make pollAndResetChanged be atomic, so we don't need to aquire a lock
- Get the computer queue from the task owner, rather than a separate
argument.
Ideally we'd add a couple more tests in the future, but this'll do for
now.
The bootstrap class is largely yoinked from CCTweaks-Lua, so is a tad
ugly. It works though.
We now generate a table and concatinate the elements together. This has
several benefits:
- We no longer emit emit trailing spaces, which caused issues on 1.13's
command system.
- We no longer need the error level variable, nor have the weird
recursion system - it's just easier to understand.
Prior to this change we would schedule a new task which attached
peripherals on the ComputerThread on the empty task queue. This had a
couple of issues:
- Slow running tasks on the computer thread could result in delays in
peripherals being attached (technically, though rarely seen in
practice).
- Now that the ComputerThread runs tasks at once, there was a race
condition in computers being turned on/off and peripherals being
attached/detached.
Note, while the documentation said that peripherals would only be
(at|de)tached on the computer thread, wired modems would attach on the
server thread, so this was not the case in practice.
One should be aware that peripherals are still detached on the
computer thread, most notably when turning a computer on/off.
This is almost definitely going to break some less well-behaved mods,
and possible some of the well behaved ones. I've tested this on SC, so
it definitely works fine with Computronics and Plethora.
- Restrict what items can be inserted into printers. They're now closer
to brewing stands or furnaces: nothing can go in the output slot,
only ink in the ink slot, and only paper in the paper slot.
- Fix build.gradle using the wrong version
- Trim the width of tables to fit when displaying on the client. Closes
#45. Note, our solution isn't perfect, as it will wordwrap too, but
it's adaquate for now.
- Reword elements of the README, mostly changing the elements about
vanilla ComputerCraft.
- Change versioning scheme: we'll now do 1.x.y, with 1.81.0 being the
next version.
- Include MC version in the file name
- Stop bundling javadoc with the jar. We'll look into hosting this on
squiddev.cc if really needed.
- Remove the LuaJ license from the root - we no longer bundle the
sources, so it's not needed here.
I realise this change looks a little dodgey on its own, so see #113 for
the full rationale.
When a turtle was unloaded but not actually disposed of, the
m_peripheral map hangs around. As a result, when creating a new
ServerComputer, the peripherals aren't considered changed and so they're
never attached.
Fixes#50.
Also fix that blumin' deprecated method which has been around for a wee
while now.
The Computer class currently has several resposiblities such as storing
id/label, managing redstone/peirpherals, handling management of the
computer (on/off/events) and updating the output.
In order to simplify this a little bit, we move our IAPIEnvironment
implementation into a separate file, and store all "world state"
(redstone + peripherals) in there. While we still need to have some
level of updating them within the main Computer instance, it's
substantially simpler.
- Fire close events instead of failure when open websockets error.
- Handle ping events. I thought I was doing this already, but this
requires a WebsocketProtocolHandler. Fixes#118
- Run optipng on all our images. This has very little effect on most of
them (as they're all so small anyway), but has resulted in a 50%
reduction in some cases.
- Run Proguard on our shadowed dependencies (Cobalt).
- Minify our JSON files, stripping all whitespace. This is mostly
useful for FML's annotation cache, as that's a massive file, but
still a semi-useful optimisation to make.
This has helped reduce the jar by about 110kb, which isn't much but
still feels somewhat worth it.
The latest version of Cobalt has several major changes, which I'm
looking forward to taking advantage of in the coming months:
- The Lua interpreter has been split up from the actual LuaClosure
instance. It now runs multiple functions within one loop, handling
pushing/popping and resuming method calls correctly.
This means we have a theoretically infinite call depth, as we're no
longer bounded by Java's stack size. In reality, this is limited to
32767 (Short.MAX_VALUE), as that's a mostly equivalent to the limits
PUC Lua exposes.
- The stack is no longer unwound in the event of errors. This both
simplifies error handling (not that CC:T needs to care about that)
but also means one can call debug.traceback on a now-dead coroutine
(which is more useful for debugging than using xpcall).
- Most significantly, coroutines are no longer each run on a dedicated
thread. Instead, yielding or resuming throws an exception to unwind
the Java stack and switches to a different coroutine.
In order to preserve compatability with CC's assumption about LuaJ's
threading model (namely that yielding blocks the thread), we also
provide a yieldBlock method (which CC:T consumes). This suspends the
current thread and switches execution to a new thread (see
SquidDev/Cobalt@b5ddf164f1 for more
details). While this does mean we need to use more than 1 thread,
it's still /substantially/ less than would otherwise be needed.
We've been running these changes on SwitchCraft for a few days now and
haven't seen any issues. One nice thing to observe is that the number of
CC thread has gone down from ~1.9k to ~100 (of those, ~70 are dedicated
to running coroutines). Similarly, the server has gone from generating
~15k threads over its lifetime, to ~3k. While this is still a lot, it's
a substantial improvement.
This is far more elegant than our weird method of baking things and
manually inserting them into the model map. Also means we no longer need
the whole turtle_dynamic thing.
We moved the direction call within the if block, but never actally
updated the condition! I'm on a roll of stupid bug fixes today, which
really isn't a good sign.
- Only have computers implement custom block drop logic: everything
else only drops in creative mode.
- Fix redstone inputs not being received correctly. Introduced in
8b86a954ee, yes I'm a silly billy.
- Only update the neighbour which changed.
