resume

Arguments

x1,..,xn

variables in calling environment

a1,..,an

local variables

Description

In a function resume stops the execution of the function, [x1,..,xn]=resume(a1,..,an) stops the execution of the function and put the local variables ai in calling environment under names xi.

In pause mode, it allows to return to lower level [x1,..,xn]=resume(a1,..,an) returns to lower level and put the local variables ai in calling environment under names xi.

In an execstr called by a function [..]=resume(..) stops the execution of the function and put the local variables ai in calling environment under names xi.

resume is equivalent to return.

Note: the usage of this feature can complexify the code. Instead, the syntax function b=foo() is recommended.

Examples

function foo(a) a=a+1 b=resume(a) c=52 endfunction foo(42); assert_checkequal(b,43); // c does not exist

// with several function calls function foo1() a=1; b=2; c=3; [x,y,z]=resume(a, b, c) endfunction function foo2() foo1() x, y, z // Declared endfunction foo2() // x y z does not exist here
