Ok, back on this subject; I ve implemented kind of erlang Actors in Haxe.
Now the problem I face is serialisation of these actors (which are based
on closures).
The reflect Api do not allows me to 'see' the variable of an anonymous
function.
Is there any mean for me to obtain this?
basic example: if I have something like this:
static public function impact (val)
{
return function (mess)
{
trace("Impact state");
trace(val);
return new Cont(idle());
};
}
Once the function called, I get an anonymous function which captured the
val variable.
I would like to serialise this and be able to restore it on need.
You might want to try neko.Lib.serialize.
See documentation here : http://nekovm.org/doc/view/serialize
Please notice that you can't modify your code then reload serialized
closures since their offset in the bytecode might have been changed.
Another possibility that would work for me is to know the original
function that was called + its parameters...
Is this possible? (I think it depends on the underlying representation
of closures).
You might be able to wrap your class with and haxe.Proxy in order to
intercept all calls being made. It's not a very well documented feature
but you can search on the haxe mailing list archives for examples.
Best,
Nicolas
