Struct crossbeam_channel::Receiver

source · [−]

pub struct Receiver<T> { /* private fields */ }

Expand description

The receiving side of a channel.

Examples

use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
use crossbeam_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded();

thread::spawn(move || {
    s.send(1);
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
    s.send(2);
});

assert_eq!(r.recv(), Ok(1)); // Received immediately.
assert_eq!(r.recv(), Ok(2)); // Received after 1 second.

Implementations

source

impl<T> Receiver<T>

source

pub fn try_recv(&self) -> Result<T, TryRecvError>

Attempts to receive a message from the channel without blocking.

This method will either receive a message from the channel immediately or return an error if the channel is empty.

If called on a zero-capacity channel, this method will receive a message only if there happens to be a send operation on the other side of the channel at the same time.

pub fn recv(&self) -> Result<T, RecvError>

Blocks the current thread until a message is received or the channel is empty and disconnected.

If the channel is empty and not disconnected, this call will block until the receive operation can proceed. If the channel is empty and becomes disconnected, this call will wake up and return an error.

If called on a zero-capacity channel, this method will wait for a send operation to appear on the other side of the channel.

Examples

use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
use crossbeam_channel::{unbounded, RecvError};

let (s, r) = unbounded();

thread::spawn(move || {
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
    s.send(5).unwrap();
    drop(s);
});

assert_eq!(r.recv(), Ok(5));
assert_eq!(r.recv(), Err(RecvError));

source

pub fn recv_timeout(&self, timeout: Duration) -> Result<T, RecvTimeoutError>

Waits for a message to be received from the channel, but only for a limited time.

If the channel is empty and not disconnected, this call will block until the receive operation can proceed or the operation times out. If the channel is empty and becomes disconnected, this call will wake up and return an error.

If called on a zero-capacity channel, this method will wait for a send operation to appear on the other side of the channel.

Examples

use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
use crossbeam_channel::{unbounded, RecvTimeoutError};

let (s, r) = unbounded();

thread::spawn(move || {
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
    s.send(5).unwrap();
    drop(s);
});

assert_eq!(
    r.recv_timeout(Duration::from_millis(500)),
    Err(RecvTimeoutError::Timeout),
);
assert_eq!(
    r.recv_timeout(Duration::from_secs(1)),
    Ok(5),
);
assert_eq!(
    r.recv_timeout(Duration::from_secs(1)),
    Err(RecvTimeoutError::Disconnected),
);

source

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is empty.

Note: Zero-capacity channels are always empty.

Examples

use crossbeam_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded();

assert!(r.is_empty());
s.send(0).unwrap();
assert!(!r.is_empty());

source

pub fn is_full(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the channel is full.

Note: Zero-capacity channels are always full.

Examples

use crossbeam_channel::bounded;

let (s, r) = bounded(1);

assert!(!r.is_full());
s.send(0).unwrap();
assert!(r.is_full());

source

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of messages in the channel.

Examples

use crossbeam_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded();
assert_eq!(r.len(), 0);

s.send(1).unwrap();
s.send(2).unwrap();
assert_eq!(r.len(), 2);

source

pub fn capacity(&self) -> Option<usize>

If the channel is bounded, returns its capacity.

Examples

use crossbeam_channel::{bounded, unbounded};

let (_, r) = unbounded::<i32>();
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), None);

let (_, r) = bounded::<i32>(5);
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), Some(5));

let (_, r) = bounded::<i32>(0);
assert_eq!(r.capacity(), Some(0));

source

pub fn iter(&self) -> Iter<'_, T>ⓘNotable traits for Iter<'a, T>`impl<'a, T> Iterator for Iter<'a, T> type Item = T;`

A blocking iterator over messages in the channel.

Each call to next blocks waiting for the next message and then returns it. However, if the channel becomes empty and disconnected, it returns None without blocking.

Examples

use std::thread;
use crossbeam_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded();

thread::spawn(move || {
    s.send(1).unwrap();
    s.send(2).unwrap();
    s.send(3).unwrap();
    drop(s); // Disconnect the channel.
});

// Collect all messages from the channel.
// Note that the call to `collect` blocks until the sender is dropped.
let v: Vec<_> = r.iter().collect();

assert_eq!(v, [1, 2, 3]);

source

pub fn try_iter(&self) -> TryIter<'_, T>ⓘNotable traits for TryIter<'a, T>`impl<'a, T> Iterator for TryIter<'a, T> type Item = T;`

A non-blocking iterator over messages in the channel.

Each call to next returns a message if there is one ready to be received. The iterator never blocks waiting for the next message.

Examples

use std::thread;
use std::time::Duration;
use crossbeam_channel::unbounded;

let (s, r) = unbounded::<i32>();

thread::spawn(move || {
    s.send(1).unwrap();
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
    s.send(2).unwrap();
    thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(2));
    s.send(3).unwrap();
});

thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(2));

// Collect all messages from the channel without blocking.
// The third message hasn't been sent yet so we'll collect only the first two.
let v: Vec<_> = r.try_iter().collect();

assert_eq!(v, [1, 2]);

source

pub fn same_channel(&self, other: &Receiver<T>) -> bool

Returns true if receivers belong to the same channel.

Examples

use crossbeam_channel::unbounded;

let (_, r) = unbounded::<usize>();

let r2 = r.clone();
assert!(r.same_channel(&r2));

let (_, r3) = unbounded();
assert!(!r.same_channel(&r3));
