Subject: actors: Handle messages/coroutines in want of reply and errors.
X-Git-Tag: v0.2.0~17
X-Git-Url: https://jxself.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;ds=sidebyside;h=413f6d981a7c4e11f2270c7bd52527d3e5a3a2c1;hp=413f6d981a7c4e11f2270c7bd52527d3e5a3a2c1;p=8sync.git

actors: Handle messages/coroutines in want of reply and errors.

If we call another method and we're "waiting" on a reply, and an error
happens in the other function so that it can't continue, that shouldn't
leave our coroutine hanging around in the waiting-coroutines hashmap
forever.  Instead, we raise it and throw an error warning about that.

(More ideally, we'd like to raise this inside of the send-message type
methods but that seems to cause a SIGABRT.  Yikes!)

* 8sync/systems/actors.scm (hive-reply-with-error): New method.
  (hive-process-message): Update call-catching-coroutine to reply with
  an eror if an uncaught exception happens.
  Update resume-waiting-coroutine to recognize whether the message
  has a '*reply* action or not.  If not, remove the coroutine (we'll
  never get a reply) and throw an error.
