async_kernel v0.15.0 · 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

module Id : Core.Unique_id.Id

type t = Core.read T1.t

val sexp_of_t : t -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t

val id : _ T1.t -> Id.t

id t returns a unique, consistent identifier which can be used e.g. as a map or hash table key.

include Core.Invariant.S with type t := 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.read ] T1.t ->
  Core.Core_private.Time_ns_alternate_sexp.Span.t

val is_wall_clock : [> Core.read ] T1.t -> bool

val next_alarm_fires_at : [> Core.read ] T1.t -> Core.Time_ns.t option

val now : [> Core.read ] T1.t -> Core.Time_ns.t

val timing_wheel_now : [> Core.read ] T1.t -> Core.Time_ns.t

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

val advance_directly : [> Core.write ] T1.t -> to_:Core.Time_ns.t -> unit

Instead of advance_directly, you probably should use advance_by_alarms. advance_directly t ~to_ advances the clock directly to to_, whereas advance_by_alarms advances the clock in steps, to each intervening alarm. advance_directly approximately determines the set of events to fire, up to timing-wheel alarm precision, whereas advance_by_alarms fires all alarms whose time is <= to_. With advance_directly, you must call fire_past_alarms if you want that behavior (see docs for Timing_wheel.advance_clock vs. Timing_wheel.fire_past_alarms).

val advance : [> Core.write ] T1.t -> to_:Core.Time_ns.t -> unit

deprecated [since 2019-06] Use [advance_directly] (to preserve behavior) or [advance_by_alarms]

val advance_directly_by : 
  [> Core.write ] T1.t ->
  Core.Core_private.Time_ns_alternate_sexp.Span.t ->

val advance_by : 
  [> Core.write ] T1.t ->
  Core.Core_private.Time_ns_alternate_sexp.Span.t ->
  unit

deprecated [since 2019-06] Use [advance_directly_by] (to preserve behavior) or [advance_by_alarms_by]

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

val advance_by_alarms : 
  ?wait_for:(unit -> unit Deferred.t) ->
  [> Core.write ] T1.t ->
  to_:Core.Time_ns.t ->
  unit 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 for the result of wait_for to become determined before advancing. By default, wait_for will be Scheduler.yield () to allow the 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 advance_by_max_alarms_in_each_timing_wheel_interval : 
  ?wait_for:(unit -> unit Deferred.t) ->
  [> Core.write ] T1.t ->
  to_:Core.Time_ns.t ->
  unit Deferred.t

deprecated [since 2021-12] This is the old implementation of [advance_by_alarms], kept in case the new implementation causes problems.

val advance_by_alarms_by : 
  ?wait_for:(unit -> unit Deferred.t) ->
  [> Core.write ] T1.t ->
  Core.Core_private.Time_ns_alternate_sexp.Span.t ->
  unit Deferred.t

advance_by_alarms_by ?wait_for t by is equivalent to: advance_by_alarms ?wait_for t ~to_:(Time_ns.add (now t) by)

val of_synchronous : 'a Async_kernel__.Types.Time_source.t1 -> '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.
