Bound to the current runner if within a runner context. Otherwise, set to NIL. Useful to detect if a task is run in a particular runner to avoid conflicts.
Constant to hold an instance of NO-THREADING-STUMP.
Constant matching any ended (not necessarily successful) status.
:STOPPING Object is in the process of being stopped.
:STOPPED Object has been stopped.
:COMPLETED Object successfully completed execution.
:ERRORED Object ended execution with an error.
Constant matching a running status.
:RUNNING Object is currently executing.
Constant matching any started (not necessarily running) status.
:CREATED Object has been initialized, but not started. :SCHEDULED Object has been scheduled for execution. :RUNNING Object is currently executing.
Evaluate BODY within a task, usually a BLOCKING-CALL-TASK.
See CALL-AS-TASK
Call function within a task, usually a BLOCKING-CALL-TASK.
Depending on the task’s STATUS after SCHEDULE-TASK returns, the following happens.
:COMPLETED The task’s return values are returned.
:ERRORED A condition of type TASK-ERRORED is signalled.
T The task is returned.
See SCHEDULE-TASK
See BLOCKING-CALL-TASK
Make a thread to call START-RUNNER on RUNNER in.
On platforms with thread support, this returns the new thread.
On platforms without, this simply calls START-RUNNER and returns NIL.
See START-RUNNER
Wait for the TASK to match a certain STATUS.
On systems without thread support this does nothing.

The function the call-task calls once it is run.
See CALL-TASK
Interrupt the TASK to stop it from execution on RUNNER.
If the task is currently on the RUNNER’s queue to be executed (:SCHEDULED), it is removed from the queue. If the task is currently running, it is forcibly aborted. In either case, the task’s status is changed to :STOPPED and it will not execute further. On systems without thread support this does nothing.
If this is called with the RUNNER being T, the current runner of the TASK is used, if possible. If this is called with the RUNNER being NIL, the actual termination mechanism for the task is performed, leading it to be terminated.

notifying-task)) ¶automatically generated writer method
The current task queue of the runner.
Do not directly push tasks to this! Use SCHEDULE-TASK instead.
This queue is also NOT indicative of which tasks have yet to be run,
or which ones have. When the queued runner runs, it retains the current
queue for processing and sets a new, empty queue on the runner. As such,
when you look at the queue at any particular moment, tasks that are not
in it might not have run yet.
queued-runner)) ¶automatically generated reader method
Returns the values that the call returned.
See CALL-TASK
Run the given task object directly.
One restart is established:
STOP to forcibly stop (interrupt) the task. Assigns the :STOPPED status.

The task may or may not be run immediately, depending on the runner and given
system support. Tasks are guaranteed to be run in the same order as they are
scheduled.

| Initarg | Value |
|---|---|
:runner | (error runner required.) |
:runner
Condition signalled when the runner is not yet started, but has to be.
error.
runner-condition.
Condition signalled when the runner did not stop properly.
runner-condition.
warning.
Condition signalled when attempting to reschedule an already scheduled task.
error.
task-condition.
Condition superclass for task operation related conditions.
Condition signalled when a task failed to run properly.
task-condition.
warning.
Task class to perform a function call once run. Blocks the scheduling thread until it is done.
See CALL-TASK
See BLOCKING-TASK
A task that will block after being scheduled until it is done or interrupted.
When SCHEDULE-TASK is called on this, it establishes two restarts:
ABORT to forcibly abort (interrupt) the task.
UNBLOCK to resume execution in the current thread and leave the task running.
If a restart or similar exit functionality is invoked that leaves the scope of
SCHEDULE-TASK, the task is interrupted.
Note that the restarts are not useful on systems without thread support. In such
a case the task will be interrupted either way, due to the very nature of running
in the current thread.
See AWAIT
See INTERRUPT-TASK
See NOTIFYING-TASK
Task class to perform a function call once run. Stores the return values.
Task class to perform a function call once run and call a callback upon completion.
If the task completes successfully, the callback function is called with each return
value as an argument. Note that the callback function is called within the runner
environment which may be different from the scheduler environment.
See CALL-TASK
| Initarg | Value |
|---|---|
:callback | (error callback required.) |
:callback
Stump class to stand in place of a value on systems without threading support.
A task that will notify a condition upon completion.
This is particularly useful in conjunction with AWAIT.

| Initarg | Value |
|---|---|
:lock | (make-lock notifying-task) |
:cvar | (make-condition-variable name notifying-task) |
Queued runner. Runs tasks in a thread if threading is available. Noe that START-RUNNER for this runner will block the current thread.
| Initarg | Value |
|---|---|
:queue | (make-array 100 adjustable t fill-pointer 0) |
:back-queue | (make-array 100 adjustable t fill-pointer 0) |
:lock | (make-lock task-runner-queue-lock) |
:cvar | (make-condition-variable name task-runner-condition) |
:thread | nil |
:queue
:back-queue
:thread
Basic runner. Runs task as soon as scheduled.
A class that has a status.
:created
Basic task class.
A status can be a SYMBOL, a STATUS-OBJECT, or a LIST composed of SYMBOLs.
Bound to either NIL or the current queue being processed by the queued-runner.
See QUEUED-RUNNER
Bound to either NIL or the current task being processed by the queued-runner.
Check that all functions, classes, and variables have docstrings.
Returns true if every element in the list is a symbol and the list thus qualifies as a STATUS.
