lovr.thread.call

Edit

Calls a Lua function on a worker thread. The arguments and returns are sent to and from the thread using an internal Channel. The function is serialized to bytecode, so it can not access any variables in the parent Lua scope.

This is an asynchronous function. Calling it in a task will yield the task and resume once the call is complete.

... = lovr.thread.call(f, ...)

Notes

C methods can be called this way:

world = lovr.physics.newWorld()

-- Do the physics update on a thread
lovr.thread.call(world.update, world, dt)
