Attribute Macro vin_macros::actor

#[actor]

Generates the actor impls and forms necessary fields.

Arguments

This proc macro supports the following arguments:

• awaiting (default)
• no_awaiting

vin::handles() proc macro

Specifies which message the actor handles, then generates code to handle the message.

Arguments

Currently there is only one additional argument and it’s ‘bounded’.

bounded

The bounded argument allows you to set an upper limit to the amount of messages a mailbox can take in. It also allows you to set a strategy for handling a full mailbox. Current available strategies are: ‘wait’ (awaits until the mailbox is available), ‘report’ (reports a failure) and ‘silent’ (silently discards the message).

Example

#[vin::actor] /* defaults to `awaiting` */
#[vin::handles(MyMsg, bounded(size = 1024, report))]
struct MyActor;
 
/* or */
 
#[vin::actor(no_awaiting)]
#[vin::handles(MyMsg, bounded(size = 1024, wait))]
struct MyActor;
