Struct RuntimeLoop

pub struct RuntimeLoop { /* private fields */ }

Implementations

impl RuntimeLoop

pub fn new() -> Self

Constructs a new RuntimeLoop.

pub fn get_cancel_flag(&self) -> Arc<AtomicBool>

Sometimes we want to be able to cancel the loop from the outside. Before we start this loop in its own thread with run(), we can grab the cancel_flag and set it to true.

pub fn add_pollable(&mut self, pollable: Arc<Mutex<dyn PollableTrait>>)

The runtime loop will continue to check a list of pollable closures. This is how you add such a closure.

pub fn run(&self) -> Result<(), String>

run() will cause a blocking loop and return a result. It is recommended, but unnecessary to call run() by using thread::spawn(…) it can be canceled using the cancel flag. See get_cancel_flag().
