/* Module: task Task management. An executing Rust program consists of a tree of tasks, each with their own stack, and sole ownership of their allocated heap data. Tasks communicate with each other using ports and channels. When a task fails, that failure will propagate to its parent (the task that spawned it) and the parent will fail as well. The reverse is not true: when a parent task fails its children will continue executing. When the root (main) task fails, all tasks fail, and then so does the entire process. A task may remove itself from this failure propagation mechanism by calling the function, after which failure will only result in the termination of that task. Tasks may execute in parallel and are scheduled automatically by the runtime. Example: > spawn {|| > log(debug, "Hello, World!"); > }; */ import cast = unsafe::reinterpret_cast; import comm; import ptr; import c = ctypes; export task; export joinable_task; export yield; export task_notification; export join; export unsupervise; export task_result; export tr_success; export tr_failure; export get_task; export spawn; export spawn_joinable; export spawn_connected; export connected_fn; export connected_task; export currently_unwinding; export try; #[abi = "rust-intrinsic"] native mod rusti { // these must run on the Rust stack so that they can swap stacks etc: fn task_yield(task: *rust_task, &killed: bool); } type rust_closure = { fnptr: c::intptr_t, envptr: c::intptr_t }; #[link_name = "rustrt"] #[abi = "cdecl"] native mod rustrt { fn get_task_id() -> task_id; fn rust_get_task() -> *rust_task; fn new_task() -> task_id; fn drop_task(task_id: *rust_task); fn get_task_pointer(id: task_id) -> *rust_task; fn start_task(id: task, closure: *rust_closure); fn rust_task_is_unwinding(rt: *rust_task) -> bool; fn unsupervise(); } /* Section: Types */ type rust_task = {id: task, mutable notify_enabled: int, mutable notify_chan: comm::chan, mutable stack_ptr: *u8}; resource rust_task_ptr(task: *rust_task) { rustrt::drop_task(task); } type task_id = int; /* Type: task A handle to a task */ type task = task_id; /* Function: spawn Creates and executes a new child task Sets up a new task with its own call stack and schedules it to be executed.
