Expand description

Do NOT implement this yourself! Use the macro interchange!.

Also, DO NOT use the doc(hidden) methods, if the public API in Requester and Responder are not sufficient for your needs, this means the abstraction is not good enough, and must be fixed here, in interchange.

At compile time, the client capacity is set by using the appropriate call to the interchange! macro. The application can then repeatedly call claim to obtain these clients.

Required methods

This is the constructor for a (Requester, Responder) pair.

Returns singleton static instances until all that were allocated are used up, thereafter, None is returned.

Method for debugging: how many allocated clients have not been claimed.

Method purely for testing - do not use in production

Rationale: In production, interchanges are supposed to be set up as global singletons during intialization. In testing however, multiple test cases are run serially; without this reset, such tests would need to allocate an extremely large amount of clients.

It does not work to put this behind a feature flag, as macro expansion happens at call site and can’t see the feature.
