* This implementation adds threads on the side of the client (script debugger).
* Some functions of the debugger are optimized.
* The profile is also now thread safe using atomics.
* The editor can switch between multiple threads when debugging.
This PR adds threaded support for the script language debugger. Every thread has its own thread local data and it will connect to the debugger using multiple thread IDs.
This means that, now, the editor can receive multiple threads entering debug mode at the same time.
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).
The current documentation uses the term "running" for two different things.
In the description of get_id() it claims "it will return empty string if the thread is not running", but it actually will return the thread id until wait_to_finish is called.
In the description of is_alive() it claims "it will return true if the thread is running", but in this case it means "the provided function hasn't finished running yet".
Updated the functions documentation slighly to make this clear.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
An attempt to improve the documentation for Thread
- Adds documentation on how and when the `wait_to_finish` should be used
- Adds a note on what to be careful about when using `wait_to_finish`
