Loole

A safe async/sync multi-producer multi-consumer channel.

Producers can send and consumers can receive messages asynchronously or synchronously:

• sync -> sync
• async -> async
• sync -> async
• async -> sync

fn main() {
    let (tx, rx) = loole::unbounded();

    std::thread::spawn(move || {
        for i in 0..10 {
            tx.send(i).unwrap();
        }
    });

    let mut sum = 0;
    while let Ok(i) = rx.recv() {
        sum += i;
    }

    assert_eq!(sum, (0..10).sum());
}

Usage

To use Loole, place the following line under the [dependencies] section in your Cargo.toml:

loole = "0.1.7"

Run Benchmarks

Benchmarks measure throughput, which is the number of messages sent and received per second, for messages of 264 bytes each.

To run benchmarks on your local machine, run the following command:

Prior to executing this command, ensure Node.js is installed.

cargo run --release -p benchmark

The above command will generate and update the benchmark images in the README.md file.
