Ryan aefbd57514 Add stack to promise.wait(). The problem was that if promise A was waiting and promise B was created and then also told to wait (from some callback coming off the event loop), and then promise A finished, promise B's wait would return. Promise A's wait would not return until promise B was finished. This is incorrect. To solve this issue properly, one probably needs to allocate separate execution stacks. I use, instead, Poor Man's Coroutines. We continue to use the main execution stack and force promises created most recently to return first. That is even if Promise A finishes first, neither wait() returns. Not until Promise B finishes, will its wait() return. After that is complete, Promise A's wait() will return. This introduces the problem of growing the "wait stack" infinitely. Thus I've added a strong warning to the documentation only to use this operation sparingly. require() and include() seem to be the proper use case for such a thing: they are called usually at program start up - they don't take too long to finish and they won't be called so often. Let's experiment with this stop-gap. If the infinite promise stack becomes a problem for many, then I will remove promise.wait() entirely or perhaps only use it for thread pool events.		16 years ago
