Function makeIsolated
Creates a new isolated object.
Isolated
objects contain no mutable aliasing outside of their own reference tree. They can thus be safely converted to immutable and they can be safely passed between threads.
The function returns an instance of Isolated
that will allow proxied access to the members of the object, as well as providing means to convert the object to immutable or to an ordinary mutable object.
Prototype
Isolated!(T) makeIsolated(T, ARGS...)(ARGS args)( ARGS args );
Examples
import vibe.core.concurrency; class Item { double value; string name; } void modifyItem(Isolated!Item itm) { itm.value = 1.3; // TODO: send back to initiating thread } void main() { immutable(Item)[] items; // create immutable item procedurally auto itm = makeIsolated!Item(); itm.value = 2.4; itm.name = "Test"; items ~= itm.freeze(); // send isolated item to other thread auto itm2 = makeIsolated!Item(); spawn(&modifyItem, itm2.move()); // ... }
