2024-06-11Allow Python-like 'object = ClassName(ctor args)' constructor calls.Nat Goodspeed
The discussions we've read about Lua classes conventionally use ClassName:new() as the constructor, and so far we've followed that convention. But setting metaclass(ClassName).__call = ClassName.new permits Lua to respond to calls of the form ClassName(ctor args) by implicitly calling ClassName:new(ctor args). Introduce util.classctor(). Calling util.classctor(ClassName) sets ClassName's metaclass's __call to ClassName's constructor method. If the constructor method is named something other than new(), pass ClassName.method as the second arg. Use util.classctor() on each of our classes that defines a new() method. Replace ClassName:new(args) calls with ClassName(args) calls throughout.

so the user need not reverse-engineer the code to figure out the output.
2024-05-31Add timers.lua API module and test_timers.lua test program.Nat Goodspeed
Since timers presents a timers.Timer Lua class supporting queries and cancellation, make TimersListener::scheduleAfter() and scheduleEvery() respond immediately so the newly constructed Timer object has the reqid necessary to perform those subsequent operations. This requires that Lua invocations of these operations avoid calling the caller's callback with that initial response. Reinvent leap.generate() to return a Lua object supporting next() and done() methods. A plain Lua coroutine that (indirectly) calls fiber.wait() confuses the fiber scheduler, so avoid implementing generate() as a Lua coroutine. Add a bit more leap.lua diagnostic output.
