SYNTAX
|
|
/* function */
|
|
async <modifiers> <type> name ( <arguments> )
|
|
{
|
|
statements...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
/* inline closure */
|
|
async function <type> ( ) : <context>
|
|
{
|
|
statements...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
The async modifer turns a function or inline closure into a coroutine.
|
|
|
|
If the function is called it will immediately return a coroutine
|
|
object that will represent the remainder of the function's execution.
|
|
|
|
The inline closure notation will not result in a closure, but a
|
|
coroutine object.
|
|
|
|
HISTORY
|
|
Coroutines were introduced in LDMud 3.6.5.
