Struct Scope

source

pub struct Scope<'env> { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

A scope for spawning threads.

Implementations§

source §

impl<'env> Scope<'env>

source

pub fn spawn<'scope, F, T>(&'scope self, f: F) -> ScopedJoinHandle<'scope, T>
where F: FnOnce(&Scope<'env>) -> T + Send + 'env, T: Send + 'env,

Spawns a scoped thread.

This method is similar to the spawn function in Rust’s standard library. The difference is that this thread is scoped, meaning it’s guaranteed to terminate before the scope exits, allowing it to reference variables outside the scope.

The scoped thread is passed a reference to this scope as an argument, which can be used for spawning nested threads.

The returned handle can be used to manually join the thread before the scope exits.

This will create a thread using default parameters of ScopedThreadBuilder, if you want to specify the stack size or the name of the thread, use this API instead.

§Panics

Panics if the OS fails to create a thread; use ScopedThreadBuilder::spawn to recover from such errors.

§Examples

use crossbeam_utils::thread;

thread::scope(|s| {
    let handle = s.spawn(|_| {
        println!("A child thread is running");
        42
    });

    // Join the thread and retrieve its result.
    let res = handle.join().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(res, 42);
}).unwrap();

source

pub fn builder<'scope>(&'scope self) -> ScopedThreadBuilder<'scope, 'env>

Creates a builder that can configure a thread before spawning.

§Examples

use crossbeam_utils::thread;

thread::scope(|s| {
    s.builder()
        .spawn(|_| println!("A child thread is running"))
        .unwrap();
}).unwrap();
