asarium	016c07dc3a	Add feature to execute Lua coroutines at specific points ... This adds a mechanism for running generic operations at specific points of the frame execution. This can be used by any part of the code an not just Lua since it simply executes std::functions. It also adds an "execution context" concept that specifies in which situation an operation should be executed. This is then used by the Lua Coroutines code for resuming coroutines at specific points instead of always when the awaited promise resolves.	2020-06-06 21:29:48 +02:00
asarium	08c6e0d072	Introduce error state of promises ... This is necessary after all to properly clean up resources if an operation becomes invalid. Also bumps Visual Studio version to 2017 on Appveyor.	2020-05-24 22:07:09 +02:00
asarium	ebcf686cf7	Add Lua API for promises and async coroutines ... This adds a Lua API for representing asynchronous operations and running coroutines based on those operations comfortably. This is very similar to features other languages have introduced such as C# or JavaScript. In fact, the whole "promise" thing is derived from how JavaScript represents these operations. This is the initial and very basic system for supporting async coroutines in Lua. There is no native support for running these operations at specific points (they run whenever the awaited promise resolved) or making sure they do not leak through different game states.	2020-05-24 12:36:01 +02:00
