Class

DexFiber

Description [src]

final class Dex.Fiber : GObject.TypeInstance
{
  /* No available fields */
}

DexFiber is a fiber (or coroutine) which itself is a DexFuture.

When the fiber completes execution it will either resolve or reject the with the result or error.

You may treat a DexFiber like any other DexFuture which makes it simple to integrate fibers into other processing chains.

DexFiber are provided their own stack seperate from a threads main stack, They are automatically scheduled as necessary.

Use dex_await() and similar functions to await the result of another future within the fiber and the fiber will be suspended allowing another fiber to run and/or the rest of the applications main loop.

Once a fiber is created, it is pinned to that scheduler. Use dex_scheduler_spawn() to create a fiber on a specific scheduler.
