swap the engine state

Submitted by Tavi on Fri, 12/02/2011 - 11:12

Feature Requests

Hello,

I understand that get_state and set_state can be used to switch the running context. I think it would be useful to have also a 'swap' method for the State. Maybe something like this:

void swap_state(State& s)
{
  chaiscript::detail::threading::lock_guard<chaiscript::detail::threading::recursive_mutex> l(m_use_mutex);
  chaiscript::detail::threading::shared_lock<chaiscript::detail::threading::shared_mutex> l2(m_mutex);
  m_used_files.swap(s.used_files);
  m_engine.swap_state(s.engine_state);
  m_active_loaded_modules.swap(s.active_loaded_modules);
}

Regards,
Tavi.

I'd be happy to accept a patch adding this functionality. It looks like there's a few missing details from the snippet you provided here. If you are interested, fork from the git repository, add the feature and a test for it.
