18. Boost package for jobs and threads

The JOBQUE boost module implements collection of helper macros and functions to accompany JOBQUE.

All functions and symbols are in “jobque_boost” module, use require to get access to it.

require daslib/jobque_boost

18.1. Function annotations

NewJobMacro

this macro handles new_job and new_thread calls. the call is replaced with new_job_invoke and new_thread_invoke accordingly. a cloning infastructure is generated for the lambda, which is invoked in the new context.

18.2. Invocations

new_job(l: lambda<>)

argument

argument type

l

lambda<>
Create a new job.

  • new context is cloned from the current context.

  • lambda is cloned to the new context.

  • new job is added to the job queue.

  • once new job is invoked, lambda is invoked on the new context on the job thread.

new_thread(l: lambda<>)

argument

argument type

l

lambda<>
Create a new thread

  • new context is cloned from the current context.

  • lambda is cloned to the new context.

  • new thread is created.

  • lambda is invoked on the new context on the new thread.

18.3. Iteration

for_each(channel: jobque::Channel? const; blk: block<(res:auto(TT) const#):void> const)

for_each returns auto

Warning

This function is deprecated.

argument

argument type

channel

jobque::Channel ? const

blk

block<(res:auto(TT) const#):void> const
