Overview

Note:

Whole class should be considered private. An user should use Contexts and References only.

Note:

devel: core should not block on anything, e.g. it cannot wait on children to terminate that would eat up all threads in task pool and deadlock

Core of the actor.

Constructor Details

#initialize(opts = {}, &block) ⇒ Core

Returns a new instance of Core

Parameters:

  • block (Proc) —

    for class instantiation

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (opts):

  • name (String)
  • actor_class (Context) —

    a class to be instantiated defining Actor's behaviour

  • args (Array<Object>) —

    arguments for actor_class instantiation

  • executor, (Executor) —

    default is global_io_executor

  • link, (true, false) —

    atomically link the actor to its parent (default: true)

  • reference (Class) —

    a custom descendant of Reference to use

  • behaviour_definition, (Array<Array(Behavior::Abstract, Array<Object>)>) —

    array of pairs where each pair is behaviour class and its args, see Behaviour.basic_behaviour_definition

  • initialized, (ResolvableFuture, nil) —

    if present it'll be set or failed after Concurrent::Actor::Context initialization

  • parent (Reference, nil) —

    private api parent of the actor (the one spawning )

  • logger (Proc, nil) —

    a proc accepting (level, progname, message = nil, &block) params, can be used to hook actor instance to any logging system, see Concern::Logging

#actor_class ⇒ Context (readonly)

A subclass of AbstractContext representing Actor's behaviour.

Returns:

#executor ⇒ Executor (readonly)

Executor which is used to process messages.

Returns:

  • (Executor)

# File 'lib-edge/concurrent/actor/core.rb', line 35

attr_reader :reference, :name, :path, :executor, :context_class, :context, :behaviour_definition

#name ⇒ String (readonly)

The name of actor instance, it should be uniq (not enforced). Allows easier orientation between actor instances.

Returns:

  • (String)

# File 'lib-edge/concurrent/actor/core.rb', line 35

attr_reader :reference, :name, :path, :executor, :context_class, :context, :behaviour_definition

#path ⇒ String (readonly)

Path of this actor. It is used for easier orientation and logging. Path is constructed recursively with: parent.path + self.name up to a Concurrent::Actor.root, e.g. /an_actor/its_child.

Returns:

  • (String)

# File 'lib-edge/concurrent/actor/core.rb', line 35
