Asynchronous I/O that doesn’t get in your way, written in D

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

NameDescription
assumeIsolated(object) Unsafe facility to assume that an existing reference is unique.
async(callable, args) Starts an asynchronous computation and returns a future for the result value.
asyncWork(callable, args)
lock(object) Locks the given shared object and returns a ScopedLock for accessing any unshared members.
makeIsolated(args) Creates a new isolated object.
makeIsolatedArray(size) Creates a new isolated array.
performInWorker(callable, arguments) Performs work in a worker task and waits for the result to be available.
prioritySend(task, args)
prioritySend(tid, args)
send(task, args)
send(tid, args)
setConcurrencyPrimitive(primitive) Sets the concurrency primitive to use for śtd.concurrency.spawn().

Structs

NameDescription
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.

Enums

NameDescription
ConcurrencyPrimitive

Manifest constants

NameTypeDescription
haveTypeAlready
isCopyable
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.

Aliases

NameTypeDescription
Isolated T Encapsulates the given type in a way that guarantees memory isolation.
ScopedRef ScopedRefAggregate!T Encapsulates a reference in a way that disallows escaping it or any contained references.
