Detailed Description

Our default mailbox implementation.

Uses a LIFO inbox for storing incoming messages and combines it with two FIFO caches for storing urgent and normal messages.

Member Function Documentation

blocked()

bool caf::detail::default_mailbox::blocked ( ) const

overridevirtualnoexcept

Checks whether the owner of this mailbox is currently waiting for new messages.

Note

Only the owning actor is allowed to call this function.

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

close()

size_t caf::detail::default_mailbox::close ( const error & reason )

overridevirtual

Closes the mailbox and discards all pending messages.

Returns

The number of dropped messages.

Note

Only the owning actor is allowed to call this function.

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

closed()

bool caf::detail::default_mailbox::closed ( ) const

overridevirtualnoexcept

Checks whether the mailbox has been closed.

Note

Only the owning actor is allowed to call this function.

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

deref_mailbox()

void caf::detail::default_mailbox::deref_mailbox ( )

overridevirtualnoexcept

Decreases the reference count by one and deletes this instance if the reference count drops to zero.

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

peek()

mailbox_element * caf::detail::default_mailbox::peek ( message_id id )

overridevirtual

Note

Only used by the legacy test framework. Remove when dropping support for it.

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

pop_front()

mailbox_element_ptr caf::detail::default_mailbox::pop_front ( )

overridevirtual

Removes the next element from the mailbox.

Returns

The next element in the mailbox or nullptr if the mailbox is empty.

Note

Only the owning actor is allowed to call this function.

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

push_back()

intrusive::inbox_result caf::detail::default_mailbox::push_back ( mailbox_element_ptr ptr )

overridevirtual

Adds a new element to the mailbox.

Returns

inbox_result::success if the element has been added to the mailbox, inbox_result::unblocked_reader if the reader has been unblocked, or inbox_result::queue_closed if the mailbox has been closed. @threadsafe

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

push_front()

void caf::detail::default_mailbox::push_front ( mailbox_element_ptr ptr )

overridevirtual

Note

Only the owning actor is allowed to call this function.

Implements caf::abstract_mailbox.

ref_mailbox()

void caf::detail::default_mailbox::ref_mailbox ( )

overridevirtualnoexcept
