||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust
|
||||||
|
extern crate fringe;
|
||||||
|
|

|
use fringe::{OsStack, Generator};
|

|
||||||

fn main() {

let stack = OsStack::new(1 << 16).unwrap();
|

let mut gen = Generator::new(stack, move |yielder, ()| {
|
||||||
|
for i in 1..4 { yielder.generate(i) }
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
println!("{:?}", gen.resume(())); // Some(1)

println!("{:?}", gen.resume(())); // Some(2)
|

|
println!("{:?}", gen.resume(())); // Some(3)

println!("{:?}", gen.resume(())); // None

## Debuggability
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Uniquely among libraries implementing context switching, libfringe ensures that the call stack
|
||||||
|
does not abruptly end at the boundary of a generator. Let's consider this buggy code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust
|
||||||
|
extern crate fringe;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
use fringe::{OsStack, Generator};
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
fn main() {
|
||||||
|
let stack = OsStack::new(1 << 16).unwrap();
|
||||||
|
let mut gen = Generator::new(stack, move |yielder, mut index| {
|
||||||
|
let values = [1, 2, 3];
|
||||||
|
loop { index = yielder.generate(values[index]) }
|
||||||
|
});
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
println!("{:?}", gen.resume(5));
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It crashes with the following backtrace (redacted for clarity):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```

||||||
|

|
|

|
Similarly, debuggers, profilers, and all other tools using the DWARF debug information have
|
||||||
|
full insight into the call stacks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the stack should be deep enough for the panic machinery to store its state—at any point
|
||||||
|
there should be at least 8 KiB of free stack space, or panicking will result in a segfault.
