5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Macros

Macro: defun-async (name lambda-list &body body)

Like LAMBDA-ASYNC but expands to a CL:DEFUN form instead of CL:LAMBDA.

Package

cl-async-await.

Source

promise.lisp.

Macro: lambda-async (lambda-list &body body)

Creates a closure that creates a PROMISE when FUNCALLed. The BODY will run in its own thread.

See also: AWAIT

Package

cl-async-await.

Source

promise.lisp.


5.1.2 Generic functions

Generic Function: await (promise)

Wait for a PROMISE to resolve to one or more values. If the promise
succeeds, the values will be returned using CL:VALUES.

If an error occurs in the PROMISE thread, that error will be signalled in the thread from which AWAIT is called, in a context where all the same restarts are defined
as are defined in the PROMISE thread. If INVOKE-RESTART is called with one of the restarts defined in the PROMISE thread, that restart will be invoked in the PROMISE thread, and AWAIT will return that restart’s value form.

If the stack frame for the call to AWAIT is unwound without invoking a restart,
the PROMISE thread will invoke its CL:ABORT restart.

Whether the PROMISE succeeds or fails, the result is memoized. Calling AWAIT a second time on the same PROMISE will yield the same values.

If an error occurred and AWAIT is called a second time, the restarts will not be available, since the PROMISE thread is expected to be dead as a result of invoking the ABORT restart.
