Overview

Note:

Intended for use primarily in testing and debugging.

An executor service which runs all operations on a new thread, blocking until it completes. Operations are performed in the order they are received and no two operations can be performed simultaneously.

This executor service exists mainly for testing an debugging. When used it immediately runs every #post operation on a new thread, blocking the current thread until the operation is complete. This is similar to how the ImmediateExecutor works, but the operation has the full stack of the new thread at its disposal. This can be helpful when the operations will spawn more operations on the same executor and so on - such a situation might overflow the single stack in case of an ImmediateExecutor, which is inconsistent with how it would behave for a threaded executor.

Instance Method Details

#post(*args) { ... } ⇒ Boolean

Submit a task to the executor for asynchronous processing.

Parameters:

  • args (Array) —

    zero or more arguments to be passed to the task

Yields:
