6.1 Public Interface


6.1.1 Constants

Constant: +maximum-buffer-size+

The exclusive upper bound on the size of a channel’s buffer.

Package

chanl.

Source

channels.lisp.


6.1.2 Symbol macros

Symbol Macro: %thread-pool-soft-limit
Package

chanl.

Source

threads.lisp.


6.1.3 Macros

Macro: atomic-incf (place &optional delta)
Package

trivial-compare-and-swap.

Source

trivial-cas.lisp.

Macro: pexec ((&key initial-bindings name) &body body)

Executes BODY in parallel. INITIAL-BINDINGS, if provided, should be an alist representing dynamic variable bindings that BODY is to be executed with. The format is: ’((*var* value)).

Package

chanl.

Source

threads.lisp.

Macro: select (&body clauses)

Non-deterministically select a non-blocking clause to execute.

The syntax is:

select clause* -> result(s)
clause ::= (op form*)
op ::= (recv c &optional variable channel-var)
| (send c value &optional channel-var)
| else | otherwise | t
c ::= an evaluated form representing a channel, or a sequence of channels. variable ::= an unevaluated symbol, bound within form* to RECV’s return value. value ::= an evaluated form returning a value to send into the channel. channel-var ::= An unevaluated symbol that will be bound to the channel the SEND/RECV operation succeeded on.
result(s) ::= the values returned by the last form in the selected clause.

SELECT will first attempt to find a clause with a non-blocking op, and execute it. Selecting a clause to execute is atomic, but execution of the clause’s body after the SEND/RECV clause executes is NOT atomic. If all channel clauses would block, and no else clause is provided, SELECT will thrash-idle (an undesirable state!) until one of the clauses is available for execution.

SELECT’s non-determinism is, in fact, very non-deterministic. Clauses are chosen at random, not in the order they are written. It’s worth noting that SEND/RECV, when used on sequences of channels, are still linear in the way they go through the sequence – the random selection is reserved for individual SELECT clauses.

Methods
Method: channel-grab-value ((channel cas-channel))
Method: channel-grab-value ((channel queue-channel))
Method: channel-grab-value ((channel stack-channel))
Method: channel-grab-value ((channel channel))
Generic Function: channel-insert-value (channel value)

Methods
Method: channel-insert-value ((channel cas-channel) value)
Method: channel-insert-value ((channel queue-channel) value)
Method: channel-insert-value ((channel stack-channel) value)
Method: channel-insert-value ((channel channel) value)
Generic Function: channelp (channel)
Package

chanl.

Source

channels.lisp.

Methods
Method: channelp (anything-else)
Method: channelp ((channel abstract-channel))
Generic Function: recv (chan &key blockp)

Tries to receive from either a single channel, or a sequence of channels. If
BLOCKP is true, RECV will block until it’s possible to receive something. Returns two values: The first is the actual value received through the channel. The second is the channel the value was received from. When BLOCKP is NIL, RECV will immediately return (values NIL NIL) instead of blocking (if it would block)

Package

chanl.

Source

channels.lisp.

Methods
Method: recv ((channel cas-channel) &key blockp)
Method: recv ((channel channel) &key blockp)
Method: recv ((channels null) &key)
Method: recv ((channels sequence) &key blockp)
Generic Function: recv-blocks-p (channel)

Returns T if trying to RECV from CHANNEL would block.

Assumes that the calling context holds the channel’s lock.

Package

chanl.

Source

channels.lisp.

Methods
Method: recv-blocks-p ((channel cas-channel))
Method: recv-blocks-p ((channel unbounded-channel))
Method: recv-blocks-p ((channel bounded-channel))
Method: recv-blocks-p ((channel stack-channel))
Method: recv-blocks-p ((channel channel))
Generic Function: send (chan value &key blockp)

Tries to send VALUE into CHAN. If a sequence of channels is provided
instead of a single channel, SEND will send the value into the first channel that doesn’t block. If BLOCKP is true, SEND will continue to block until it’s able to actually send a value. If BLOCKP is NIL, SEND will immediately return NIL instead of blocking, if there’s no channel available to send input into. When SEND succeeds, it returns the channel the value was sent into.

Class: cas-channel

These channels use COMPARE-AND-SWAP to do their thing, instead of locks+condition-vars. Ideally, these would be faster than regular channels. In reality, they’re not. It’s possible there might be a way to speed these guys up while keeping the same behavior in the interface, but for now, they’re about 100x slower, not to mention non-portable.
