The new VM lifetime is bound to the "thread" object pushed in the stack and behave like a normal squirrel object. creates a new vm friendvm of the one passed as first parmeter and pushes it in its stack as "thread" object. .. _sq_open: .. c:function:: HSQUIRRELVM sq_open(SQInteger initialstacksize) :param SQInteger initialstacksize: the size of the stack in slots(number of objects) :returns: an handle to a squirrel vm :remarks: the returned VM has to be released with sq_releasevm creates a new instance of a squirrel VM that consists in a new execution stack. .. _sq_pushconsttable: .. c:function:: void sq_pushconsttable(HSQUIRRELVM v) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM pushes the current const table in the stack .. _sq_pushregistrytable: .. c:function:: void sq_pushregistrytable(HSQUIRRELVM v) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM pushes the registry table in the stack .. _sq_pushroottable: .. c:function:: void sq_pushroottable(HSQUIRRELVM v) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM pushes the current root table in the stack .. _sq_setconsttable: .. c:function:: void sq_setconsttable(HSQUIRRELVM v) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM pops a table from the stack and set it as const table .. _sq_seterrorhandler: .. c:function:: void sq_seterrorhandler(HSQUIRRELVM v) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :remarks: the error handler is shared by friend VMs pops from the stack a closure or native closure an sets it as runtime-error handler. .. _sq_setforeignptr: .. c:function:: void sq_setforeignptr(HSQUIRRELVM v, SQUserPointer p) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :param SQUserPointer p: The pointer that has to be set Sets the foreign pointer of a certain VM instance. The foreign pointer is an arbitrary user defined pointer associated to a VM (by default is value id 0). This pointer is ignored by the VM. .. _sq_setprintfunc: .. c:function:: void sq_setprintfunc(HSQUIRRELVM v, SQPRINTFUNCTION printfunc, SQPRINTFUNCTION errorfunc) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :param SQPRINTFUNCTION printfunc: a pointer to the print func or NULL to disable the output. :param SQPRINTFUNCTION errorfunc: a pointer to the error func or NULL to disable the output. :remarks: the print func has the following prototype: void printfunc(HSQUIRRELVM v,const SQChar \*s,...) sets the print function of the virtual machine. This function is used by the built-in function '::print()' to output text. .. _sq_setroottable: .. c:function:: void sq_setroottable(HSQUIRRELVM v) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM pops a table from the stack and set it as root table .. _sq_setsharedforeignptr: .. c:function:: void sq_setsharedforeignptr(HSQUIRRELVM v, SQUserPointer p) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :param SQUserPointer p: The pointer that has to be set Sets the shared foreign pointer. The foreign pointer is an arbitrary user defined pointer associated to a group of friend VMs (by default is value id 0). After a "main" VM is created using sq_open() all friend VMs created with sq_newthread share the same shared pointer. .. _sq_setsharedreleasehook: .. c:function:: void sq_setsharedreleasehook(HSQUIRRELVM v, SQRELESEHOOK hook) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :param SQRELESEHOOK hook: The hook that has to be set Sets the release hook of a certain VM group. The release hook is invoked when the last vm of the group vm is destroyed (usually when sq_close() is invoked). The userpointer passed to the function is the shared foreignpointer(see sq_getsharedforeignptr()). After a "main" VM is created using sq_open() all friend VMs created with sq_newthread() share the same shared release hook. .. _sq_setvmreleasehook: .. c:function:: void sq_setvmreleasehook(HSQUIRRELVM v, SQRELESEHOOK hook) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :param SQRELESEHOOK hook: The hook that has to be set Sets the release hook of a certain VM instance. The release hook is invoked when the vm is destroyed. The userpointer passed to the function is the vm foreignpointer(see sq_setforeignpointer()) .. _sq_suspendvm: .. c:function:: HRESULT sq_suspendvm(HSQUIRRELVM v) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :returns: an SQRESULT(that has to be returned by a C function) :remarks: sq_result can only be called as return expression of a C function. The function will fail is the suspension is done through more C calls or in a metamethod. Suspends the execution of the specified vm. *.eg* :: SQInteger suspend_vm_example(HSQUIRRELVM v) { return sq_suspendvm(v); } .. _sq_wakeupvm: .. c:function:: HRESULT sq_wakeupvm(HSQUIRRELVM v, SQBool resumedret, SQBool retval, SQBool raiseerror, SQBool throwerror) :param HSQUIRRELVM v: the target VM :param SQBool resumedret: if true the function will pop a value from the stack and use it as return value for the function that has previously suspended the virtual machine. :param SQBool retval: if true the function will push the return value of the function that suspend the excution or the main function one. :param SQBool raiseerror: if true, if a runtime error occurs during the execution of the call, the vm will invoke the error handler. :param SQBool throwerror: if true, the vm will thow an exception as soon as is resumed. the exception payload must be set beforehand invoking sq_thowerror(). :returns: an HRESULT. Wake up the execution a previously suspended virtual machine.
