Add synchronizing. #22

Closed dalejung closed 11 years ago

dalejung commented 11 years ago

Want the ability to run blocks of code synchronously.

The basic sync wrappers for functions exist here.

https://github.com/dalejung/inode/blob/master/lib/sync/index.js

Right now it handles async methods that return promises. The .sync attribute will call the function and Fiber.run when the promise is resolved.

Further issues:

  1. Should the %fun auto run the code with a Fiber?
  2. Should each line run within a fiber?
dalejung commented 11 years ago

When running stuff in Fiber, how do I get access to the function global? I want the ability to auto hoist the variables defined within the function to another scope.

I could run each line within a contextify, actualy I run everything within the context stuff anyways...

So I would need to wrap the actual contextify.run or vm.runInThisContext.

Verify that the vm functions will still work within a Fiber

Just verified that the Fiber works within nested runs as well.

Thinking about it, this is done on the inode side.
