Threads¶
The threads library (import (threads)) provides threading primitives.
All values in scheme-rs are safe to send across threads and all mutations are atomic.
spawn procedure¶
Invokes thunk in a newly created thread and returns a join handle.
join procedure¶
Takes a join handle and blocks until the thread returns, returning the values. After the thread has returned, the same values will be returned on subsequent calls.
If the thread throws an exception, join will re-throw the same exception each
time it is called.
Attempting to join a thread's own join-handle will throw an exception.
sleep procedure¶
Block the thread until milliseconds have elapsed.
join-handle? procedure¶
Returns true if the object is a join handle.
join-handle type¶
Join handle represents the state of completion of a thread and contains whatever values (or errors) were returned.
It can also be used a form of identification for a thread, via eqv?.
