Module vibe.core.concurrency

Functions and structures for dealing with threads and concurrent access.

This module is modeled after std.concurrency, but provides a fiber-aware alternative to it. All blocking operations will yield the calling fiber instead of blocking it.

Functions

Name Description
assumeIsolated Unsafe facility to assume that an existing reference is unique.
async Starts an asynchronous computation and returns a future for the result value.
lock Locks the given shared object and returns a ScopedLock for accessing any unshared members.
makeIsolated Creates a new isolated object.
makeIsolatedArray Creates a new isolated array.
prioritySend
prioritySendCompat
receiveCompat
receiveOnlyCompat
receiveTimeoutCompat
send
sendCompat
setMaxMailboxSizeCompat
setMaxMailboxSizeCompat

Structs

Name Description
Future Represents a values that will be computed asynchronously.
ScopedLock Proxy structure that keeps the monitor of the given object locked until it goes out of scope.

Templates

Name Description
haveTypeAlready
isCopyable
Isolated Encapsulates the given type in a way that guarantees memory isolation.
isStronglyIsolated Determines if the given list of types has any non-immutable aliasing outside of their object tree.
isWeaklyIsolated Determines if the given list of types has any non-immutable and unshared aliasing outside of their object tree.
ScopedRef Encapsulates a reference in a way that disallows escaping it or any contained references.
