ExecuteFunc and sequential operation

08-02-2009, 04:57 PM

Does ExecuteFunc still guarantee sequential operation? I would like to call it from a loop (a group enumeration actually), and have some globals that I would like to set to pass as arguments to the function each time it's called. Can I be sure that the global will have the correct value for each execution of the code?

Example:

JASS:

function func1 takes nothing returns nothing
set udg_int = 1
call ExecuteFunc("func2")
set udg_int = 2
call ExecuteFunc("func2")
endfunction

function func2 takes nothing returns nothing
call BJDebugMsg(I2S(udg_int))
endfunction

The basic question is will this always display "1" then "2"? No waits will be involved. Obviously, I tested it for this simple case, but I'm wondering if it always holds true, or if doing this repeatedly in a long loop or with more complicated code in between that would require more execution time would prevent this from working.

Anitarf	The ExecuteFunc'd thread will interrupt the executing thread, which will only resume after the executed thread finishes (or hits a wait).

jwallstone	Great. So without waits, it functions exactly like normal function calls in terms of sequential execution.

Pyrogasm	Correct you are.

Toadcop	there are no async threads in jass. (in fact there is only 1 thread)
