Type Definition dart_sys::Dart_Isolate

type Dart_Isolate = *mut _Dart_Isolate;

An isolate is the unit of concurrency in Dart. Each isolate has its own memory and thread of control. No state is shared between isolates. Instead, isolates communicate by message passing.

Each thread keeps track of its current isolate, which is the isolate which is ready to execute on the current thread. The current isolate may be NULL, in which case no isolate is ready to execute. Most of the Dart apis require there to be a current isolate in order to function without error. The current isolate is set by any call to Dart_CreateIsolateGroup or Dart_EnterIsolate.
