Module tarantool_module::fiber

Сooperative multitasking module

With the fiber module, you can:

• create, run and manage fibers,
• use a synchronization mechanism for fibers, similar to “condition variables” and similar to operating-system functions such as pthread_cond_wait() plus pthread_cond_signal().

See also:

• Threads, fibers and yields
• Lua reference: Module fiber
• C API reference: Module fiber

Structs

Cond	Conditional variable for cooperative multitasking (fibers).
Fiber	A fiber is a set of instructions which are executed with cooperative multitasking.
FiberAttr	Fiber attributes container
Latch	A lock for cooperative multitasking environment
LatchGuard	An RAII implementation of a "scoped lock" of a latch. When this structure is dropped (falls out of scope), the lock will be unlocked.

Functions

clock	Report loop begin time as double (cheap). Uses monotonic clock.
clock64	Report loop begin time as 64-bit int. Uses monotonic clock.
fiber_yield	Yield control to the scheduler.
is_cancelled	Check current fiber for cancellation (it must be checked manually).
reschedule	Reschedule fiber to end of event loop cycle.
set_cancellable	Make it possible or not possible to wakeup the current fiber immediately when it's cancelled.
sleep	Put the current fiber to sleep for at least time seconds.
time	Report loop begin time as double (cheap).
time64	Report loop begin time as 64-bit int.
