Public Member Functions
virtual void	ref_execution_context () const noexcept=0
	Increases the reference count of the execution_context.
virtual void	deref_execution_context () const noexcept=0
	Decreases the reference count of the execution context and destroys the object if necessary.
virtual void	schedule (action what)=0
	Schedules what to run on the event loop of the execution context.
template<class F >
void	schedule_fn (F &&what)
	Schedules what to run on the event loop of the execution context.
virtual void	watch (disposable what)=0
	Asks the coordinator to keep its event loop running until what becomes disposed since it depends on external events or produces events that are visible to outside observers.

Member Function Documentation

schedule()

virtual void caf::async::execution_context::schedule ( action what )

pure virtual

Schedules what to run on the event loop of the execution context.

This member function may get called from external sources or threads. @thread-safe

Implemented in caf::net::multiplexer.

schedule_fn()

template<class F >

void caf::async::execution_context::schedule_fn

(

F &&

what

)

Schedules what to run on the event loop of the execution context.

This member function may get called from external sources or threads. @thread-safe

watch()

virtual void caf::async::execution_context::watch ( disposable what )

pure virtual

Asks the coordinator to keep its event loop running until what becomes disposed since it depends on external events or produces events that are visible to outside observers.

Must be called from within the event loop of the execution context.
