IIUC
continuation=true
is now needed because we might be calling the sameTapedFunction
multiple times?EDIT: In contrast to before when were just constructing a new one every time.

I think your understanding is correct.
In the tape, a function call constitutes a single instruction.
Previous to my changes, this function call was only allowed to call
produce(val)
once.I think the reason was that without subtapes, we were only able to continue the execution after the call instruction.
This was safe to do if we only allow one
produce
and throw an error otherwise.By flagging a function
g
as non-primitiveis_primitive(typeof(g),...) = false
, we tell Libtask that we want to be able to interrupt the execution ing
(e.g. atproduce(4)
).For this to work any parent tape function
f
(the caller) has to actually own the subtape ofg
.The instruction
counter
ofg
has to be preserved, such that withcontinuation=true
we continue exactly at the correct instruction ing
. And yes,g
is called multiple times with an updatedcounter
.Thus, when we fork/copy a task, we also have to copy all subtapes with their counters.
Also, when reusing a cached tape we have to reset all the counters of the subtapes
counter = 1

That makes sense; thank you! And again, great work:)
