bionic (3) Coro::Specific.3pm.gz

NAME

       Coro::Specific - manage coroutine-specific variables.

SYNOPSIS

        use Coro::Specific;

        my $ref = new Coro::Specific;

        $$ref = 5;
        print $$ref;

DESCRIPTION

       This module can be used to create variables (or better: references to them) that are specific to the
       currently executing coroutine. This module does not automatically load the Coro module (so the overhead
       will be small when no coroutines are used).

       A much faster method is to store extra keys into %$Coro::current - all you have to do is to make sure
       that the key is unique (e.g. by prefixing it with your module name). You can even store data there before
       loading the Coro module - when Coro is loaded, the keys stored in %$Coro::current are automatically
       attached to the coro thread executing the main program.

       You don't have to load "Coro::Specific" manually, it will be loaded automatically when you "use Coro" and
       call the "new" constructor.

       new Create a new coroutine-specific scalar and return a reference to it. The scalar is guaranteed to be
           "undef". Once such a scalar has been allocated you cannot deallocate it (yet), so allocate only when
           you must.

BUGS

       The actual coroutine specific values do not automatically get destroyed when the Coro::Specific object
       gets destroyed.
