Ok -- I've been trying to wrap my brain around stackless and the use of
tasklets over the past few days, so please excuse me if this is a stupid
question. Basically, I now understand how to create a start a tasklet using
the C API based upon what I saw in the examples here on your site (dice1.cpp):
----
/* start the python function as a tasklet */
func = PyObject_GetAttrString(main, "everySecond");
process = PyTasklet_New(NULL, func);
Py_DECREF(func);
/* initialize the tasklet args */
args = PyTuple_New(0);
PyTasklet_Setup(process, args, NULL);
Py_DECREF(args);
----
This I understand, and it seems to work well: the tasklet is created, it's
added to the queue, and it's executed when its turn comes.
However, my question was whether or not you can have a tasklet actually return
a value, and how you would go about doing that with the C API? In other
words, imagine that the func above returns a PyObject* value ...how would I
retrieve that?
Again, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question and/or inappropriate; however,
I've searched all over the internet for examples of just about every function
in the stackless C API file ...and, just about the only things available are
what is here in your 'examples'.
Also -- if anyone knows of a good, simple example of a C Application that
utilizes stackless (similar to dice1.cpp) ...but, involves a main tasklet loop
AND creates additional tasklets with channels and so forth...that would be
great. I really would like to understand all of this in C (simply) before
using a crutch (ie, boost libs.)
Thanks!
