Revert back to previous non-blocking state when stuck in a infinit loop #231

I have a function in the interpreter which I call externally. If a call timeout I would like to revert the state to what it was before last call so I can call the function again with new set of data and keep the progress of the previous successful executions. Is there a way to do this today?

Yes, you just need to serialize the state of the interpreter. That way you can restore to that state at any future time.
