⚡ Just an experiment to achieve multi-threading in AutoIt, as a library.

👏 All issues and pull requests are welcome!

🔔 Give a star and subscribe (watch) to get notified about changes.

Download the latest release (or build from source).

Library files:

• N.au3 - AutoIt include file
• N.dll - 32-bit DLL dependency
• N64.dll - 64-bit DLL (optional if 32-bit only)

Simple example:

#NoTrayIcon
#include "N.au3"

func task()
  MsgBox(0, "", "Hello, I"m in another thread.")
endfunc

func main()
  local $t = NRun("task")
  NWait($t)
endfunc

NMain("main")

More examples:

• test_1.au3
• test_2.au3

See N.au3 to get all APIs.

Requirements:

• Visual Studio 2017+
• C++ desktop development
• Windows SDK 8.1+

Build steps:

• Open true-autoit-multi-threading.sln
• Restore Nuget packages
• Choose CPU arch -> x86/x64
• Press build -> N.dll/N64.dll
• Copy above DLLs and N.au3 to your script folder

Please see the C++ source code, I"ll update soon 😀.

Yep, it"s designed for both running script in AutoIt.exe and compiled (also upx packed) EXE.

After the first thread is created, the memory increases once ~EXE size. And +80kB after each thread done, that isn"t memory leaks, they are static members/smart pointers of AutoIt interpreter still alive. They will be freed when process exits.

Yesh, it is implemented with hash table. I don"t know why AutoItObject lookups property name through array sequentially.

Nope.

Not implemented yet.
