|
// Six Facts:
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// 1. The memory space allocated to your program for the
|
||
|
|
// invocation of a function and all of its data is called a
|
||
|
|
// "stack frame".
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// 2. The 'return' keyword "pops" the current function
|
||
|
|
// invocation's frame off of the stack (it is no longer needed)
|
||
|
|
// and returns control to the place where the function was
|
||
|
|
// called.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// fn foo() void {
|
||
|
|
// return; // Pop the frame and return control
|
||
|
|
// }
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// 3. Like 'return', the 'suspend' keyword returns control to the
|
||
|
|
// place where the function was called BUT the function
|
||
|
|
// invocation's frame remains so that it can regain control again
|
||
|
|
// at a later time. Functions which do this are "async"
|
||
|
|
// functions.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// fn fooThatSuspends() void {
|
||
|
|
// suspend; // return control, but leave the frame alone
|
||
|
|
// }
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// 4. To call any function in async context and get a reference
|
||
|
|
// to its frame for later use, use the 'async' keyword:
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// var foo_frame = async fooThatSuspends();
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// 5. If you call an async function without the 'async' keyword,
|
||
|
|
// the function FROM WHICH you called the async function itself
|
||
|
|
// becomes async! In this example, the bar() function is now
|
||
|
|
// async because it calls fooThatSuspends(), which is async.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// fn bar() void {
|
||
|
|
// fooThatSuspends();
|
||
|
|
// }
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// 6. The main() function cannot be async!
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// Given facts 3 and 4, how do we fix this program (broken by facts
|
||
|
|
// 5 and 6)?
|
||
|
