NAME
MCE::Channel::MutexFast - Fast channel for producer(s) and many consumers
VERSION
This document describes MCE::Channel::MutexFast version 1.899
DESCRIPTION
A channel class providing queue-like and two-way communication for processes and threads. Locking is handled using MCE::Mutex.
This is similar to MCE::Channel::Mutex but optimized for non-Unicode strings only. The main difference is that this module lacks freeze-thaw serialization. Non-string arguments become stringified; i.e. numbers and undef.
The API is described in MCE::Channel with the sole difference being send
and send2
handle one argument.
Current module available since MCE 1.877.

use MCE::Channel; # The default is tuned for one producer and many consumers. my $chnl_a = MCE::Channel->new( impl => 'MutexFast' ); # Specify the 'mp' option for safe use by two or more producers # sending or receiving on the left side of the channel (i.e. # ->enqueue/->send or ->recv2/->recv2_nb). my $chnl_b = MCE::Channel->new( impl => 'MutexFast', mp => 1 );
