NAME

src/pmc/retcontinuation.pmc - Return Continuation

DESCRIPTION

RetContinuation extends Continuation.

A return continuation is a one shot Continuation. It gets recycled immediately after invocation.

Methods

void init()

Initializes the continuation.

PMC *clone

Return a new Continuation PMC with the context of SELF. Note: the returned object is not a RetContinuation and creating a real Continuation invalidates all RetContinuation all the way up the call chain. That is, these can't be recycled; they persist until the GC gets at them.

opcode_t *invoke(void *next)

Transfers control to the calling context and frees the current context.
