Module Async_kernel.IvarSource

A write-once cell that can be empty or full (i.e., hold a single value).

One can read an ivar to obtain a deferred that becomes determined when the ivar is filled. An ivar is similar to an 'a option ref, except it is an error to fill an already full ivar.

Sourceval equal : 'a t -> 'a t -> bool

equal t t' is physical equality of t and t'.

Sourceval create : unit -> 'a t

create () returns an empty ivar.

Sourceval create_full : 'a -> 'a t

create_full v returns an ivar filled with v.

Sourceval fill : 'a t -> 'a -> unit

fill t v fills t with value v if t was empty. If t was full, fill raises an exception. It is guaranteed that immediately after calling fill t, is_some (Deferred.peek (read t)).

Sourceval fill_if_empty : 'a t -> 'a -> unit

fill_if_empty t v fills t with v if t is currently empty. If t is full, then fill_if_empty does nothing.

Sourceval is_empty : 'a t -> bool

is_empty t returns true if t is empty.

Sourceval is_full : 'a t -> bool

is_full t returns true if t is full.

Sourceval read : 'a t -> 'a Deferred.t

read t returns a deferred that becomes enabled with value v after the ivar is filled with v.

Sourceval peek : 'a t -> 'a option

peek t returns Some v iff t is full with value v.

Sourceval value_exn : 'a t -> 'a

value_exn t returns v if t is full with value v, and raises otherwise.

Sourceval has_handlers : _ t -> bool

has_handlers t returns true if t has handlers waiting on read t.
