- 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.
This should help address leaking file descriptors in multithreaded
programs. There are a few cases where a race can occur though, as
some apis (fopen and mktemp).
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.
These functions interact with Janet's dynamically scoped
IO functions in a manner that is more useful the file/flush.
We can still redirect to a buffer without changing our code.
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.
Because we use an amalgated build, feature
test macros should be set in a single file that
is included before any other headers, and is placed
at the top of the amalgamated build.
This unifies equality and comparison checking. Before, we had
separate functions and vm opcodes for comparing general values vs.
for comparing numbers, where the numberic functions were polymorphic and
had special cases for handling NaNs. By unfiying them, abstract types
can now better integrate with other number types and behave as keys.
For now, the old functions are aliased but will eventually be removed.
When file was created with file/popen, the current optimization
of using fseek on windows fails due to windows not properly returning
and error code and just returning 0. Windows :(.
This allows some more optimizations when printing to
buffers or when output is disabled. It also makes printf
more consistent with print and prin (Same with eprintf).
The print family of functions now writes output
to an optional buffer instead of a file bound to :out.
This means output can be more easily captured an redirected.
