method

future

ruby latest stable - Class: Rake::ThreadPool

future(*args, &block)

public

Creates a future executed by the ThreadPool.

The args are passed to the block when executing (similarly to Thread#new) The return value is an object representing a future which has been created and added to the queue in the pool. Sending #value to the object will sleep the current thread until the future is finished and will return the result (or raise an exception thrown from the future)

# File lib/rake/thread_pool.rb, line 33
    def future(*args, &block)
      promise = Promise.new(args, &block)
      promise.recorder = lambda { |*stats| stat(*stats) }

      @queue.enq promise
      stat :queued, :item_id => promise.object_id
      start_thread
      promise
