Implementations

impl MailboxFactory

pub fn memory_less() -> MemoryLessMailbox

Creates a new MemoryLessMailbox with a memory less message processing policy. For each neighbouring message, only the last one received is kept. This policy, from the user’s viewpoint, acts similarly to the [MostRecent] version, but it is more memory efficient since the other messages received are substituted with the last received.

pub fn most_recent() -> TimeOrderedMailbox

Creates a new TimeOrderedMailbox with a most recent message processing policy. Keeps every message received from each neighbor, but returns only the most recent one. Used for processing in a LIFO order.

pub fn least_recent() -> TimeOrderedMailbox

Creates a new TimeOrderedMailbox with a least recent message processing policy. Keeps every message received from each neighbor, but returns only the least recent one. Used for processing in a FIFO order.
