| # Async patterns |
| |
| This library implements popular patterns for safe asynchronous programming in |
| C++. It does not dictate the only way to write asynchronous code, but following |
| the patterns will integrate with other asynchronous types such as FIDL bindings |
| and outgoing directories nicely: |
| |
| - Each class is thread-unsafe and used from one async dispatcher. |
| - Divide classes along concurrency boundaries. Use message sending and task |
| posting to synchronize between objects in different concurrency domains. |
| - Each asynchronous wait or task is owned by its receiver and silently canceled |
| when the receiver is destroyed. |
| |
| Code that follow these patterns can minimize locks and have simple destruction |
| logic, and still enables highly concurrent applications given many concurrency |
| domains. They may interface with other asynchronous programming styles, such as |
| those using locks and multi-threaded objects, via message sending. |
