Module timers 

Node timers and timers/promises modules.

require('timers') re-exports the SAME timer primitives that already exist as globals (setTimeout/setInterval/setImmediate + their clear*), so this module owns NO queue of its own: every method delegates straight to builtins::call_builtin_function, which schedules onto the single shared JsHost.macrotasks queue. timers.foo(...) is therefore observably identical to the global foo(...).

require('timers/promises') returns the promise-based variants: setTimeout and setImmediate resolve a Promise after the delay instead of invoking a callback. They are built on the SAME two substrates — the global timer scheduler and the @@presolve:<id> native-continuation convention that builtins.rs uses for Promise resolve reactions — so no new mechanism is introduced: a timer is scheduled whose callback is the promise’s resolver.

Constants

IMMEDIATE_METHODS

Methods on an Immediate (returned by setImmediate). Node’s Immediate prototype has no refresh — there is no countdown to restart.

INTERVAL_METHODS

The async-iterator surface timers/promises.setInterval returns.

METHODS

Methods of the timers module. Each name is also a global; call forwards to the identical global implementation, so there is one timer queue, not two.

PROMISES_METHODS

Methods of the timers/promises module (its namespace name carries no ., so stdlib::is_method treats the whole "timers/promises" as the namespace).

TIMEOUT_METHODS

Methods on a Timeout (returned by setTimeout/setInterval). Node’s prototype carries exactly refresh, unref, ref, hasRef, close; valueOf/toString back the primitive coercion described on new_handle.

Functions

call

Dispatch a timers.<method> call by delegating to the matching global timer builtin. clearImmediate has no distinct global handler (the loop cancels by id regardless of kind), so it maps to clearTimeout.

handle_id

The timer id behind a handle object, or None for anything else.

instance_call

Dispatch a method on a Timeout/Immediate handle.

interval_call

new_handle

Build the handle object a set* call returns: an @@native-tagged object ("Timeout" or "Immediate") carrying the scheduler’s timer id in a hidden @@timerId slot.

promises_call

Dispatch a timers/promises.<method> call.
