Description
Shall schedule task
for execution in parallel.
Shall schedule task
for execution in parallel, passing argv
at execution time.
Parameters
Task Characteristics
Closures scheduled for parallel execution must not:
- accept or return by reference
- accept or return internal objects (see notes)
- execute a limited set of instructions
Instructions prohibited in Closures intended for parallel execution are:
- yield
- use by-reference
- declare class
- declare named function
Note:
Nested closures may yield or use by-reference, but must not contain class or named function declarations.
Note:
No instructions are prohibited in the files which the task may include.
Arguments Characteristics
Arguments must not:
- contain references
- contain resources
- contain internal objects (see notes)
Note:
In the case of file stream resources, the resource will be cast to the file descriptor and passed as int where possible, this is unsupported on Windows.
Internal Objects Notes
Internal objects generally use a custom structure which cannot be copied by value safely, PHP currently lacks the mechanics to do this (without serialization) and so only objects that do not use a custom structure may be shared.
Some internal objects do not use a custom structure, for example parallel\Events\Event and so may be shared.
Closures are a special kind of internal object and support being copied by value, and so may be shared.
Channels are central to writing parallel code and support concurrent access and execution by necessity, and so may be shared.
A user class that extends an internal class may use a custom structure as defined by the internal class, in which case they cannot be copied by value safely, and so may not be shared.
Return Values
The return \parallel\Future must not be ignored when the task contains a return or throw statement.
Exceptions
Shall throw \parallel\Runtime\Error\Closed if \parallel\Runtime was closed.
Shall throw \parallel\Runtime\Error\IllegalFunction if task
is a closure created from an internal function.
Shall throw \parallel\Runtime\Error\IllegalInstruction if task
contains illegal instructions.
Shall throw \parallel\Runtime\Error\IllegalParameter if task
accepts or argv
contains illegal variables.
Shall throw \parallel\Runtime\Error\IllegalReturn if task
returns illegally.
