PHP 8.4.2 Released!

    The parallel\Future class

    (0.8.0)

    Futures

    A Future represents the return value or uncaught exception from a task, and exposes an API for cancellation.

    Приклад #1 Example showing Future as return value

    <?php
    $runtime     = new \parallel\Runtime;
    $future = $runtime->run(function(){
    return     "World";
    });
    printf("Hello %s\n", $future->value());
    ?>

    Поданий вище приклад виведе щось схоже на:

    Hello World

    The behaviour of a future also allows it to be used as a simple synchronization point even where the task does not return a value explicitly.

    Приклад #2 Example showing Future as synchronization point

    <?php
    $runtime     = new \parallel\Runtime;
    $future = $runtime->run(function(){
    echo     "in child ";
    for (    $i = 0; $i < 500; $i++) {
    if (    $i % 10 == 0) {
    echo     ".";
    }
    }
    echo     " leaving child";
    });

    $future->value();
    echo     "\nparent continues\n";
    ?>

    Поданий вище приклад виведе щось схоже на:

    in child .................................................. leaving child
parent continues

    Короткий огляд класу

    final class parallel\Future {
    /* Resolution */
    public value(): mixed
    /* State */
    public cancelled(): bool
    public done(): bool
    /* Cancellation */
    public cancel(): bool
    }

    /**
    * Sample parallel Runtime/Future processing
    * using a generator to produce the list of items to process
    *
    * Items to process in parallel come from a generator
    * It could be anything : e.g fetch a mysql array, a DirectoryIterator...
    * Thus the number of items to process in parallel is NOT known in advance
    *
    * This algorithm attributes items to each parallel thread dynamically
    * As soon as a thread has finished working
    * It is assigned a new item to process
    * until all items are processed (generator closes)
    *
    * In this example we process 50 items in 5 parallel threads
    * It produces output in this form (output changes at each run) :
    *
    * ThreadId: 1 => Item: 1 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 2 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 3 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 4 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 5 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 5 Sleep: 3s (End)
    * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 6 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 3 Sleep: 4s (End)
    * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 7 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 2 Sleep: 6s (End)
    * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 8 (Start)
    * ...
    * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 44 Sleep: 6s (End)
    * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 49 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 46 Sleep: 5s (End)
    * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 50 (Start)
    * ThreadId: 2 => Item: 43 Sleep: 9s (End)
    * Destroy ThreadId: 2
    * ThreadId: 1 => Item: 47 Sleep: 5s (End)
    * Destroy ThreadId: 1
    * ThreadId: 4 => Item: 49 Sleep: 7s (End)
    * Destroy ThreadId: 4
    * ThreadId: 5 => Item: 48 Sleep: 10s (End)
    * Destroy ThreadId: 5
    * ThreadId: 3 => Item: 50 Sleep: 10s (End)
    * Destroy ThreadId: 3
