Implement the ability to start Entity Threads from C++ script threads #71

Open ImmutableOctet opened 6 months ago

ImmutableOctet commented 6 months ago

This would be for both ES and C++ threads. On the C++ side, we could support arbitrary function objects and coroutines/fibers.

ImmutableOctet commented 4 months ago

This is now implemented for:

Embedded scripts via SCRIPT_BEGIN + SCRIPT_END
Lambdas acting as coroutines (possibly unsafe -- see #78)
Arbitrary fibers to be encapsulated by an EntityThread instance
Script object instances passed by rvalue reference (ownership given to bootstrap function)

We currently need safety issues like #78 to be resolved, as well as #79 to be completed in order to close this.

start_thread and start_script now work with thread ID/name hashes, Script type as template parameter, and Script instance as entry-point. Last item would be #78 to close this out.
