_{Official ZPE/YASS documentation}Threaded functions

Version 1.5.1 added threaded functions. These functions are very similar to lambda functions except that whenever they are called they will run in a different thread. ZPE 1.7.9 changed threaded functions so that they are no longer as complex as they were previously by adding the run_in_thread function.

Prior to version 1.7.9

From version 1.7.1 to 1.7.8, threaded functions are written as:

function threaded foo($x)
  print ($x + 5)
end function
foo(3)
        

Threaded functions will operate in a different thread. This is useful particularly for server operations added in version 1.5.0.

Prior to version 1.7.1

Prior to version 1.7.1 threaded functions were written as:

threaded function foo($x)
  print ($x + 5)
end function
foo(3)
