Struct blackhole::BlackHole

pub struct BlackHole<J> where
    J: Job,  { /* fields omitted */ }

Black Hole

Usage

You should call escape_on_idle() when done with this.

Be careful when you manually call drop() on a black hole, or simply let it go out of scope. Because background threads are left unmanaged. They will keep running until main thread exits. Then they will be cancelled/discarded by the system.

Notes

Messages printed by background threads are prefixed with TAG.

Implementations

impl<J> BlackHole<J> where
    J: Job, 

pub fn make(active_limit: ActiveLimit, queue_limit: usize) -> Result<Self>

Makes new instance

Notes

• Active limit and queue limit are declared in different types to help prevent typos.
• An error is returned if either active limit or queue limit is zero.
• Internal vectors used for jobs will be made immediately with capacities of active limit and queue limit.

pub fn throw(&self, job: J) -> Result<Option<J>>

Throws new job into the black hole

• If the job is accepted, None is returned.
• If the job is not accepted, it is returned to you for recovery.

pub unsafe fn escape(self) -> Result<()>

Escapes the black hole

Notes

• New jobs and all waiting jobs are discarded.
• Active jobs are left untouched. They will be discarded by system when the program's main thread exits.

pub fn escape_on_idle(self) -> Result<()>

Escapes the black hole on idle and waits for it
