From 69e009e3e1ad899a4609ff327a08512c86dba374 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Jos=C3=A9=20Valim?= Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 19:54:26 +0200 Subject: Add {continue, Term} and handle_continue/2 to gen_server If the gen_server process needs to perform an action immediately after initialization or to break the execution of a callback into multiple steps, it can return {continue, term()} in place of the time-out or hibernation value, which will immediately invoke the handle_continue/2 callback with the given term. This provides a more accessible approach to after initialization compared to proc_lib+enter_loop that is also guaranteed to be safe. It also allows callbacks that need to do lengthy or stateful work to checkpoint the state throughout multiple iterations. This can be useful, for example, when implementing behaviours on top of gen_server. --- .../results/gen_server_incorrect_args | 2 +- lib/stdlib/doc/src/gen_server.xml | 52 +++++++++- lib/stdlib/src/gen_server.erl | 31 ++++-- lib/stdlib/test/erl_internal_SUITE.erl | 4 +- lib/stdlib/test/gen_server_SUITE.erl | 111 ++++++++++++++++++--- .../test/gen_server_SUITE_data/oc_server.erl | 12 ++- 6 files changed, 185 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib') diff --git a/lib/dialyzer/test/behaviour_SUITE_data/results/gen_server_incorrect_args b/lib/dialyzer/test/behaviour_SUITE_data/results/gen_server_incorrect_args index 1eb8cd455b..1be0ce0d8c 100644 --- a/lib/dialyzer/test/behaviour_SUITE_data/results/gen_server_incorrect_args +++ b/lib/dialyzer/test/behaviour_SUITE_data/results/gen_server_incorrect_args @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ gen_server_incorrect_args.erl:3: Undefined callback function handle_cast/2 (behaviour gen_server) gen_server_incorrect_args.erl:3: Undefined callback function init/1 (behaviour gen_server) -gen_server_incorrect_args.erl:7: The inferred return type of handle_call/3 ({'no'} | {'ok'}) has nothing in common with {'noreply',_} | {'noreply',_,'hibernate' | 'infinity' | non_neg_integer()} | {'reply',_,_} | {'stop',_,_} | {'reply',_,_,'hibernate' | 'infinity' | non_neg_integer()} | {'stop',_,_,_}, which is the expected return type for the callback of the gen_server behaviour +gen_server_incorrect_args.erl:7: The inferred return type of handle_call/3 ({'no'} | {'ok'}) has nothing in common with {'noreply',_} | {'noreply',_,'hibernate' | 'infinity' | non_neg_integer() | {'continue',_}} | {'reply',_,_} | {'stop',_,_} | {'reply',_,_,'hibernate' | 'infinity' | non_neg_integer() | {'continue',_}} | {'stop',_,_,_}, which is the expected return type for the callback of the gen_server behaviour gen_server_incorrect_args.erl:7: The inferred type for the 2nd argument of handle_call/3 ('boo' | 'foo') is not a supertype of {pid(),_}, which is expected type for this argument in the callback of the gen_server behaviour diff --git a/lib/stdlib/doc/src/gen_server.xml b/lib/stdlib/doc/src/gen_server.xml index 7d137fc772..da74e793e6 100644 --- a/lib/stdlib/doc/src/gen_server.xml +++ b/lib/stdlib/doc/src/gen_server.xml @@ -60,6 +60,8 @@ gen_server:abcast -----> Module:handle_cast/2 - -----> Module:handle_info/2 +- -----> Module:handle_continue/2 + - -----> Module:terminate/2 - -----> Module:code_change/3 @@ -88,6 +90,13 @@ gen_server:abcast -----> Module:handle_cast/2 implies at least two garbage collections (when hibernating and shortly after waking up) and is not something you want to do between each call to a busy server.
