Function dqcsim::bindings::dqcs_plugin_start

#[no_mangle]pub extern "C" fn dqcs_plugin_start(
    pdef: dqcs_handle_t, 
    simulator: *const c_char
) -> dqcs_handle_t

Executes a plugin in a worker thread.

This function behaves the same as dqcs_plugin_log(), but is asynchronous; it always returns immediately. Of course, this means that the callbacks in pdef will be called from a different thread.

To wait for the thread to finish executing, call dqcs_plugin_wait() on the returned join handle. Alternatively you can delete the join handle object, which will detach the thread.

Note that dqcs_log_*() will only be available in the thread that the plugin actually runs in.

This function returns 0 to indicate failure to start the plugin. Otherwise, the join handle is returned.
