Please try not to + * diverge the API here. + * + * Paraphrasing from the Task.js site, tasks make sequential, asynchronous + * operations simple, using the power of JavaScript's "yield" operator. + * + * Tasks are built upon generator functions and promises, documented here: + * + * <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Guide/Iterators_and_Generators> + * <http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Promises/A> + * + * The "Task.spawn" function takes a generator function and starts running it as + * a task. Every time the task yields a promise, it waits until the promise is + * fulfilled. "Task.spawn" returns a promise that is resolved when the task + * completes successfully, or is rejected if an exception occurs. + * + * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + * + * const {Task} = require("devtools/shared/task"); + * + * Task.spawn(function* () { + * + * // This is our task. Let's create a promise object, wait on it and capture + * // its resolution value. + * let myPromise = getPromiseResolvedOnTimeoutWithValue(1000, "Value"); + * let result = yield myPromise; + * + * // This part is executed only after the promise above is fulfilled (after + * // one second, in this imaginary example). We can easily loop while + * // calling asynchronous functions, and wait multiple times. + * for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) { + * result += yield getPromiseResolvedOnTimeoutWithValue(50, "!"); + * } + * + * return "Resolution result for the task: " + result; + * }).then(function (result) { + * + * // result == "Resolution result for the task: Value!!!" + * + * // The result is undefined if no value was returned. + * + * }, function (exception) { + * + * // Failure! We can inspect or report the exception. + * + * }); + * + * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + * + * This module implements only the "Task.js" interfaces described above, with no + * additional features to control the task externally, or do custom scheduling. + * It also provides the following extensions that simplify task usage in the + * most common cases: + * + * - The "Task.spawn" function also accepts an iterator returned by a generator + * function, in addition to a generator function. This way, you can call into + * the generator function with the parameters you want, and with "this" bound + * to the correct value. Also, "this" is never bound to the task object when + * "Task.spawn" calls the generator function. + * + * - In addition to a promise object, a task can yield the iterator returned by + * a generator function. The iterator is turned into a task automatically. + * This reduces the syntax overhead of calling "Task.spawn" explicitly when + * you want to recurse into other task functions. + * + * - The "Task.spawn" function also accepts a primitive value, or a function + * returning a primitive value, and treats the value as the result of the + * task. This makes it possible to call an externally provided function and + * spawn a task from it, regardless of whether it is an asynchronous generator + * or a synchronous function. This comes in handy when iterating over + * function lists where some items have been converted to tasks and some not. + */ + +//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// +//// Globals + +const Promise = require("promise"); +const defer = require("devtools/shared/defer"); + +// The following error types are considered programmer errors, which should be +// reported (possibly redundantly) so as to let programmers fix their code. +const ERRORS_TO_REPORT = ["EvalError", "RangeError", "ReferenceError", + "TypeError"]; + +/** + * The Task currently being executed + */ +var gCurrentTask = null; + +/** + * If `true`, capture stacks whenever entering a Task and rewrite the + * stack any exception thrown through a Task. + */ +var gMaintainStack = false; + +/** + * Iterate through the lines of a string. + * + * @return Iterator<string> + */ +function* linesOf(string) { + let reLine = /([^\r\n])+/g; + let match; + while ((match = reLine.exec(string))) { + yield [match[0], match.index]; + } +} + +/** + * Detect whether a value is a generator. + * + * @param aValue + * The value to identify. + * @return A boolean indicating whether the value is a generator. + */ +function isGenerator(value) { + return Object.prototype.toString.call(value) == "[object Generator]"; +} + +//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// +//// Task + +/** + * This object provides the public module functions. + */ +var Task = { + /** + * Creates and starts a new task. + * + * @param task + * - If you specify a generator function, it is called with no + * arguments to retrieve the associated iterator.
