async_kernel v0.11.1 · OCaml Package

module T1 : sig ... end

A time source has a phantom read-write parameter, where write gives permission to call advance and fire_past_alarms.

module Read_write : sig ... end

type t = Core_kernel.read T1.t

val sexp_of_t : t -> Ppx_sexp_conv_lib.Sexp.t

include Core_kernel.Invariant.S with type t := t

val invariant : t Base__.Invariant_intf.inv

val read_only : [> Core_kernel.read ] T1.t -> t

val create : 
  ?timing_wheel_config:Core_kernel.Timing_wheel_ns.Config.t ->
  now:Core_kernel.Int63.t ->
  unit ->
  Core_kernel.read_write T1.t

val wall_clock : unit -> t

A time source with now t given by wall-clock time (i.e., Time_ns.now) and that is advanced automatically as time passes (specifically, at the start of each Async cycle). There is only one wall-clock time source; every call to wall_clock () returns the same value. The behavior of now is special for wall_clock (); it always calls Time_ns.now (), so it can return times that the time source has not yet been advanced to.

Accessors. now (wall_clock ()) behaves specially; see wall_clock above.

val alarm_precision : 
  [> Core_kernel.read ] T1.t ->
  Core_kernel.Core_kernel_private.Time_ns_alternate_sexp.Span.t

val next_alarm_fires_at : 
  [> Core_kernel.read ] T1.t ->
  Core_kernel.Int63.t option

val now : [> Core_kernel.read ] T1.t -> Core_kernel.Int63.t

val timing_wheel_now : [> Core_kernel.read ] T1.t -> Core_kernel.Int63.t

Removes the special behavior of now for wall_clock; it always returns the timing_wheel's notion of now.

val advance : [> Core_kernel.write ] T1.t -> to_:Core_kernel.Int63.t -> unit

Unlike in Synchronous_time_source, the advance function here only approximately determines the set of events to fire. You should also call fire_past_alarms if you want precision (see docs for Timing_wheel_ns.advance_clock vs. Timing_wheel_ns.fire_past_alarms).

val advance_by : 
  [> Core_kernel.write ] T1.t ->
  Core_kernel.Core_kernel_private.Time_ns_alternate_sexp.Span.t ->
  unit

val fire_past_alarms : [> Core_kernel.write ] T1.t -> unit

val advance_by_alarms : 
  [> Core_kernel.write ] T1.t ->
  to_:Core_kernel.Int63.t ->
  unit Async_kernel__.Types.Deferred.t

advance_by_alarms t repeatedly calls advance t to drive the time forward in steps, where each step is the minimum of to_ and the next alarm time. After each step, advance_by_alarms waits on Scheduler.yield () to allow a chance for the triggered alarms to run before moving forward, which also allows triggered timers to execute and potentially rearm for subsequent steps. The returned deferred is filled when to_ is reached.

advance_by_alarms is useful in simulation when one wants to efficiently advance to a time in the future while giving periodic timers (e.g., resulting from every) a chance to fire with approximately the same timing as they would live.

val of_synchronous : 'a Synchronous_time_source.T1.t -> 'a T1.t

Time_source and Synchronous_time_source are the same data structure and use the same underlying timing wheel. The types are freely interchangeable.
