Struct Barrier

pub struct Barrier { /* private fields */ }

A barrier enables multiple tasks to synchronize the beginning of some computation.

use tokio::sync::Barrier;
use std::sync::Arc;

let mut handles = Vec::with_capacity(10);
let barrier = Arc::new(Barrier::new(10));
for _ in 0..10 {
    let c = barrier.clone();
    // The same messages will be printed together.
    // You will NOT see any interleaving.
    handles.push(tokio::spawn(async move {
        println!("before wait");
        let wait_result = c.wait().await;
        println!("after wait");
        wait_result
    }));
}

// Will not resolve until all "after wait" messages have been printed
let mut num_leaders = 0;
for handle in handles {
    let wait_result = handle.await.unwrap();
    if wait_result.is_leader() {
        num_leaders += 1;
    }
}

// Exactly one barrier will resolve as the "leader"
assert_eq!(num_leaders, 1);

Implementations

impl Barrier

pub fn new(n: usize) -> Barrier

Creates a new barrier that can block a given number of tasks.

A barrier will block n-1 tasks which call Barrier::wait and then wake up all tasks at once when the nth task calls wait.

pub async fn wait(&self) -> BarrierWaitResult

Does not resolve until all tasks have rendezvoused here.

Barriers are re-usable after all tasks have rendezvoused once, and can be used continuously.

A single (arbitrary) future will receive a BarrierWaitResult that returns true from BarrierWaitResult::is_leader when returning from this function, and all other tasks will receive a result that will return false from is_leader.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Barrier

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
