Hi there
i've been trying AngelScript for a few days and find it so useful (and lack of documentation :P).
Now, into the busyness:
i need to make a different type of function call, which would create a new instance of that function, instead of the normal run.
I explain:
The main idea of this is create a pseudo multy-process management class, like the example "concurrent" that comes with AngelScript, with just a few differeces:
-instead of stoping every Script (in my case: process) after a certain amount of time, every process can call a function Frame () to tell the manager it has done everything it needs to do in that frame, and thus, be sent to sleep
In fact, this "frame" function is a refference to some function in the App which simply Suspends the context
-Every Process is in fact, a Context. The Manager stores the Contexts into a vector, so we can do something like:
...
for ("every Context")
Manager.ContextVector->Execute ();
End For
...
Remember: Scripts will pause themselves with a Call to Frame ()
My Problem:
Well, i've already managed to implement the Frame () related stuff thanks to the functionality of angelscript:
Register a Global Function: Frame, which simply calls ActiveContexts->Suspend ().
What i CANT do and cant figure out how to do is:
Catch Function Calls within the scripts.
Everytime a script calls a function, this function call shoudld be taken by the App and passed to the Manager, which will then allocate the contexts and do the necessary stuff to create a new process.
any ideas?
EDIT:
actually, what i need is a way to thell the App "hey, create a new instance of *this* Process using *this* parameters".
Something like
Create_Process (MyHappyProcess, Param1, Param2, ... , ParamN)
where the N Parameters will be passed to MyHappyProcess when it is created
