[][src]Crate fibers_global

This crate provides the global ThreadPoolExecutor that enables to spawn/execute fibers anywhere in a program.

This is useful for briefly writing test or example code that use fibers.

Examples

use fibers::sync::oneshot;
use futures::{lazy, Future};

// Spawns two auxiliary fibers.
let (tx0, rx0) = oneshot::channel();
let (tx1, rx1) = oneshot::channel();
fibers_global::spawn(lazy(move || {
    let _ = tx0.send(1);
    Ok(())
}));
fibers_global::spawn(lazy(move || {
    let _ = tx1.send(2);
    Ok(())
}));

// Executes a calculation that depends on the above fibers.
let result = fibers_global::execute(rx0.join(rx1).map(|(v0, v1)| v0 + v1));
assert_eq!(result.ok(), Some(3));

Functions

execute

Executes the given future by using the global ThreadPoolExecutor and waits the result.

handle

Returns the handle of the global ThreadPoolExecutor.

set_thread_count

Sets the number of scheduler threads used by the global executor.

spawn

Spawns a fiber to execute the given future by using the global ThreadPoolExecutor.

spawn_monitor

Spawns a fiber by using the global ThreadPoolExecutor and returns a future to monitor it's execution result.
