Moonpool.Immediate_runner
SourceRunner that runs tasks immediately in the caller thread.
Whenever a task is submitted to this runner via Runner.run_async r task
, the task is run immediately in the caller thread as task()
. There are no background threads, no resource, this is just a trivial implementation of the interface.
This can be useful when an implementation needs a runner, but there isn't enough work to justify starting an actual full thread pool.
Another situation is when threads cannot be used at all (e.g. because you plan to call Unix.fork
later).
include module type of Runner
A runner.
If a runner is no longer needed, shutdown
can be used to signal all worker threads in it to stop (after they finish their work), and wait for them to stop.
The threads are distributed across a fixed domain pool (whose size is determined by Domain.recommended_domain_count
on OCaml 5, and simple the single runtime on OCaml 4).
Current number of tasks. This is at best a snapshot, useful for metrics and debugging.
Shutdown the pool, and do not wait for it to terminate. Idempotent.
run_async pool f
schedules f
for later execution on the runner in one of the threads. f()
will run on one of the runner's worker threads/domains.
run_wait_block pool f
schedules f
for later execution on the pool, like run_async
. It then blocks the current thread until f()
is done executing, and returns its result. If f()
raises an exception, then run_wait_block pool f
will raise it as well.
NOTE be careful with deadlocks (see notes in Fut.wait_block
about the required discipline to avoid deadlocks).
This module is specifically intended for users who implement their own runners. Regular users of Moonpool should not need to look at it.
