This module contains the management necessary for the timer worker thread. //! This thread is responsible for performing the send()s on channels for timers //! that are using channels instead of a blocking call. //! //! The timer thread is lazily initialized, and it's shut down via the //! `shutdown` function provided. It must be maintained as an invariant that //! `shutdown` is only called when the entire program is finished. No new timers //! can be created in the future and there must be no active timers at that //! time. use prelude::v1::*; use cell::UnsafeCell; use mem; use rt; use sync::{StaticMutex, StaticCondvar}; use sync::mpsc::{channel, Sender, Receiver}; use sys::helper_signal; use thread::Thread; /// A structure for management of a helper thread. /// /// This is generally a static structure which tracks the lifetime of a helper /// thread. /// /// The fields of this helper are all public, but they should not be used, this /// is for static initialization. pub struct Helper { /// Internal lock which protects the remaining fields pub lock: StaticMutex, pub cond: StaticCondvar, // You'll notice that the remaining fields are UnsafeCell, and this is // because all helper thread operations are done through &self, but we need // these to be mutable (once `lock` is held). /// Lazily allocated channel to send messages to the helper thread. pub chan: UnsafeCell<*mut Sender>, /// OS handle used to wake up a blocked helper thread pub signal: UnsafeCell, /// Flag if this helper thread has booted and been initialized yet. pub initialized: UnsafeCell, /// Flag if this helper thread has shut down pub shutdown: UnsafeCell, } unsafe impl Send for Helper { } unsafe impl Sync for Helper { } struct RaceBox(helper_signal::signal); unsafe impl Send for RaceBox {} unsafe impl Sync for RaceBox {} impl Helper { /// Lazily boots a helper thread, becoming a no-op if the helper has already /// been spawned. /// /// This function will check to see if the thread has been initialized, and /// if it has it returns quickly.
