## Detailed Description

The script context provides the interface for a single script execution. The object stores the call stack where the local variables used by the execution are kept, however it doesn't keep copies of global variables as these are stored in the asIScriptModule, and only referenced by the context.

The value stored in a global variable is shared between all contexts, as they all refer to the same memory. This means that the global variables outlive the execution of a script, and will keep their values between executions.

It is seldom necessary to maintain more than one script context at a time, with the only exceptions being when a script calls an application function that in turn calls another script before returning, and if multiple scripts are running in parallel.

Try to avoid associating a unique context with each object that may need to call scripts. Instead keep a shared pool of contexts that can be requested by the objects on a need-to basis.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual int asIScriptContext::Abort | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  A negative value on error.

Return values

  asERROR | Invalid context object.

Aborts the current execution of a script.

If the call to Abort is done from within a function called by the script, it will only take effect after that function returns.

virtual int asIScriptContext::AddRef | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns
  The number of references to this object.

Call this method when storing an additional reference to the object. Remember that the first reference that is received from asIScriptEngine::CreateContext is already accounted for.

virtual void asIScriptContext::ClearExceptionCallback | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Removes a previously registered callback.

virtual void asIScriptContext::ClearLineCallback | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Removes a previously registered callback.

virtual int asIScriptContext::Execute | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  A negative value on error, or one of asEContextState.

Return values

  asCONTEXT_NOT_PREPARED | The context is not prepared or it is not in suspended state.
  asEXECUTION_ABORTED | The execution was aborted with a call to Abort.
  asEXECUTION_SUSPENDED | The execution was suspended with a call to Suspend.
  asEXECUTION_FINISHED | The execution finished successfully.
  asEXECUTION_EXCEPTION | The execution ended with an exception.

Executes the prepared function until the script returns. If the execution was previously suspended the function resumes where it left of.

Note that if the script freezes, e.g. if trapped in a never ending loop, you may call Abort from another thread to stop execution.

If the function returns asEXECUTION_EXCEPTION, use the GetExceptionString, GetExceptionFunction, and GetExceptionLineNumber to obtain more information on the exception and where it occurred.

virtual void* asIScriptContext::GetAddressOfArg | ( | asUINT | arg | ) |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [in] | arg | The argument index.

Returns
  A pointer to the argument on the stack.

This method returns a pointer to the argument on the stack for assignment. For object handles, you should increment the reference counter. For object values, you should pass a pointer to a copy of the object.

virtual void* asIScriptContext::GetAddressOfReturnValue | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  A pointer to the return value returned from the script function, or 0 on error.

virtual void* asIScriptContext::GetAddressOfVar | ( | asUINT | varIndex,
|  | asUINT | stackLevel = `0`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [in] | varIndex | The index of the variable.
  [in] | stackLevel | The index on the call stack.

Returns
  A pointer to the variable.

Returns a pointer to the variable, so that its value can be read and written. The address is valid until the script function returns.

Note that object variables may not be initalized at all moments, thus you must verify if the address returned points to a null pointer, before you try to dereference it.

virtual asUINT asIScriptContext::GetCallstackSize | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns
  The number of functions on the call stack, including the current function.

This methods returns the size of the callstack. It can be used to enumerate the callstack in order to generate a detailed report when an exception occurs, or for debugging running scripts.

virtual asIScriptEngine* asIScriptContext::GetEngine | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns
  A pointer to the engine.

virtual asIScriptFunction* asIScriptContext::GetExceptionFunction | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  The function where the exception occurred.

virtual int asIScriptContext::GetExceptionLineNumber | ( | int * | column = `0`,
|  | const char ** | sectionName = `0`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [out] | column | The variable will receive the column number.
  [out] | sectionName | The variable will receive the name of the script section.

Returns
  The line number where the exception occurred.

This method returns the line number where the exception ocurred. The line number is relative to the script section where the function was implemented.

Observe that the returned sectionName can be null, e.g. if the function in which the exception occurred was a generated stub function.

virtual const char* asIScriptContext::GetExceptionString | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  A null terminated string describing the exception that occurred.

virtual asIScriptFunction* asIScriptContext::GetFunction | ( | asUINT | stackLevel = `0` | ) |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [in] | stackLevel | The index on the call stack.

Returns
  The function descriptor on the call stack referred to by the index.

Index 0 refers to the current function, index 1 to the calling function, and so on. The highest index is the originating function that the application called.

The returned value will be null if the stackLevel is invalid, or if the requested stack level doesn't have a defined function. The latter scenario happens when the engine performs a nested call internally, e.g. to call a constructor for a script object indirectly created.

If the application performs a nested call, then the returned value will give the application registered function that was called by the previous script.

virtual int asIScriptContext::GetLineNumber | ( | asUINT | stackLevel = `0`,
|  | int * | column = `0`,
|  | const char ** | sectionName = `0`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [in] | stackLevel | The index on the call stack.
  [out] | column | The variable will receive the column number.
  [out] | sectionName | The variable will receive the name of the script section.

Returns
  The line number for the call stack level referred to by the index.

This function returns the line number, and optionally the column number and the name of the script section where the program is current at.

The sectionName pointer will point to an internal buffer, so do not deallocate it. If the function doesn't have any debug info sectionName will be set to null.

virtual void* asIScriptContext::GetReturnAddress | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  The address value returned from the script function, or 0 on error.

The method doesn't increase the reference counter with this call, so if you store the pointer of a reference counted object you need to increase the reference manually otherwise the object will be released when the context is released or reused.

virtual asBYTE asIScriptContext::GetReturnByte | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

  Calling a script function

virtual int asIScriptContext::PushState | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  A negative value on error.

Return values

  asERROR | The state couldn't be pushed.

This method can be invoked on an active context in order to reuse the context for a nested call, e.g. when a function called by a script needs to call another script before returning. After the method returns with success the method Prepare() shall be invoked to prepare the new execution.

By reusing an active context the application can avoid creating a temporary context, and thus improve the run time performance.

For each successful call to PushState() the method PopState() must be called to return the state in order to resume the previous script execution.

  [in] | obj | The object pointer on which the callback is called.
  [in] | callConv | The calling convention of the callback function/method.

Returns
  A negative value on error.

  asNOT_SUPPORTED | Calling convention must not be asCALL_GENERIC, or the routine's calling convention is not supported.
  asINVALID_ARG | obj must not be null for class methods.
  asWRONG_CALLING_CONV | callConv isn't compatible with the routines' calling convention.

This callback function will be called by the VM when a script exception is raised, which allow the application to examine the callstack and generate a detailed report before the callstack is cleaned up.

See SetLineCallback for details on the calling convention.

virtual int asIScriptContext::SetLineCallback | ( | asSFuncPtr | callback,
|  | void * | obj,
|  | int | callConv
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [in] | callback | The callback function/method that should be called for each script line executed.
  [in] | obj | The object pointer on which the callback is called.
  [in] | callConv | The calling convention of the callback function/method.

Returns
  A negative value on error.

Return values

  asNOT_SUPPORTED | Calling convention must not be asCALL_GENERIC, or the routine's calling convention is not supported.
  asINVALID_ARG | obj must not be null for class methods.
  asWRONG_CALLING_CONV | callConv isn't compatible with the routines' calling convention.

This function sets a callback function that will be called by the VM each time the SUSPEND instruction is encounted. Generally this instruction is placed before each statement. Thus by setting this callback function it is possible to monitor the execution, and suspend the execution at application defined locations.

The callback function can be either a global function or a class method. For a global function the VM will pass two parameters, first the context pointer and then the object pointer specified by the application. For a class method, the VM will call the method using the object pointer as the owner.

void Callback(asIScriptContext *ctx, void *obj);
void Object::Callback(asIScriptContext *ctx);

The global function can use either asCALL_CDECL or asCALL_STDCALL, and the class method can use either asCALL_THISCALL, asCALL_CDECL_OBJLAST, or asCALL_CDECL_OBJFIRST.

virtual int asIScriptContext::SetObject | ( | void * | obj | ) |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [in] | obj | A pointer to the object.

Returns
  A negative value on error.

Return values

  asCONTEXT_NOT_PREPARED | The context is not in prepared state.
  asERROR | The prepared function is not a class method.

This method sets object pointer when calling class methods.

virtual void* asIScriptContext::SetUserData | ( | void * | data,
|  | asPWORD | type = `0`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Parameters

  [in] | data | A pointer to the user data.
  [in] | type | An identifier specifying the user data to set.

Returns
  The previous pointer stored in the context.

This method allows the application to associate a value, e.g. a pointer, with the context instance.

The type values 1000 through 1999 are reserved for use by the official add-ons.

Optionally, a callback function can be registered to clean up the user data when the context is destroyed. As the callback is registered with the engine, it is only necessary to do it once, even if more than one context is used.

virtual int asIScriptContext::Suspend | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Returns
  A negative value on error.

Return values

  asERROR | Invalid context object.

Suspends the current execution of a script. The execution can then be resumed by calling Execute again.

If the call to Suspend is done from within a function called by the script, it will only take effect after that function returns.
