Member Function Documentation

enqueue()

virtual bool caf::abstract_channel::enqueue ( strong_actor_ptr  sender, message_id  mid, message  content, execution_unit *  host = nullptr  )

pure virtual

Enqueues a new message without forwarding stack to the channel.

Returns

true if the message has been dispatches successful, false otherwise. In the latter case, the channel has been closed and the message has been dropped. Once this function returns false, it returns false for all future invocations.

Implemented in caf::detail::group_tunnel, caf::detail::local_group_module::impl, caf::abstract_actor, and caf::actor_companion.
