AvailRuntimeSupport

A static class for common Avail utility operations.

Types

class AvailLazyFuture<T>( val runtime: AvailRuntime, val priority: Int = compilerPriority, val computation: ((T) -> Unit) -> Unit)

An implementation of a lazy future, using the runtime's execution pool. If the value is never requested, it never not run the computation. Otherwise, the first invocation of withValue causes the computation to run in a task (when it's safe to run interpreters).

Clock

class Clock

Utility class for wrapping a volatile counter that can be polled.

Functions

captureNanos

fun captureNanos(): Long

Capture the current time with nanosecond precision (but not necessarily accuracy). If per-thread accounting is available, use it.

nextFiberId

fun nextFiberId(): Int

Answer the next unused fiber identifier. Fiber identifiers will not repeat for 2^32 invocations.

nextHash

@Synchronized

fun nextHash(): Int

Answer a new value suitable for use as the hash code for an immutable value.

nextNonzeroHash

fun nextNonzeroHash(): Int

Answer a new non-zero value suitable for use as the hash code for an immutable value.
