- Add thread/exit to kill the current thread.
- Add global lock aroung custom getline and add atexit handler
- to prevent any possible issues when exiting program.
- Allow sending stderr, stdout, and stdin over thread.
Inpsired by the REBOL operators of the same name, these
combinators match bytes up to or inculding a given pattern.
(to patt) is (almost) equalivalent to (any (if-not patt 1)), and
(thru patt) is equivalent to (* (to patt) patt). The one difference
is that if the end of the input is reached and patt is not
matched, the entire pattern does not match.
This makes these operatios use constant stack space rather
than linear stackspace given the size of the inputs. This is important
to prevent certain parser input from causing a stack overflow - in
general, we try to avoid unbounded recursion.
This allows unmarshal to optional marshal raw
pointers and cfunctions and send them across threads.
This flag is only exposed in the C API as it is very easy
to misuse and cause segfaults.
The old function was not very useable. In the likely
case that there is no external code using this
(not well documented/janet_formatc is more convenient), we
can change this.
Using a bitset to indicate which stack values are upvalues, we
can more accurately track when a reference to a stack value
persists after the stack frame exits.
Required a few changes to APIs, namely janet_root_fiber()
to get topmost fiber that is active in the current scheduler.
This is distinct from janet_current_fiber(), which gets the bottom
most fiber in the fiber stack - it might have a parent, and so cannot
be reliably resumed.
This is the kind of situation that makes symmetric coroutines more
attractive.
This way we can support fewer build configurations. Also, remove
all undefined behavior due to use of memcpy with NULL pointers. GCC
was exploiting this to remove NULL checks in some builds.
This means we can add new properties to abstract types without
breaking old code. We can also make simple abstract types without
needing to add many NULL fields to the type.
