@deprecated[@racketmodname[racket/engine]]{}
Re-exports the bindings from @racketmodname[racket/engine] under
different names and also provides two extra bindings. The renamings
are:
@itemlist[
@item{@racket[engine] as @racket[coroutine]}
@item{@racket[engine?] as @racket[coroutine?]}
@item{@racket[engine-run] as @racket[coroutine-run]}
@item{@racket[engine-result] as @racket[coroutine-result]}
@item{@racket[engine-kill] as @racket[coroutine-kill]}
]
@defproc[(consumer-thread [f procedure?][init (-> any) void])
(values thread? procedure?)]{
Returns two values: a thread descriptor for a new thread, and a
procedure with the same arity as @racket[f].
When the returned procedure is applied, its arguments are queued to be
passed on to @racket[f], and @|void-const| is immediately returned.
The thread created by @racket[consumer-thread] dequeues arguments and
applies @racket[f] to them, removing a new set of arguments from the
queue only when the previous application of @racket[f] has completed;
if @racket[f] escapes from a normal return (via an exception or a
continuation), the @racket[f]-applying thread terminates.
The @racket[init] argument is a procedure of no arguments; if it is
provided, @racket[init] is called in the new thread immediately after the
thread is created.}
@defproc[(run-server [port-no (integer-in 1 65535)]

void?]{
Executes a TCP server on the port indicated by @racket[port-no]. When
a connection is made by a client, @racket[conn] is called with two
values: an input port to receive from the client, and an output port
to send to the client.
Each client connection is managed by a new custodian, and each call to
@racket[conn] occurs in a new thread (managed by the connection's
custodian). If the thread executing @racket[conn] terminates for any
reason (e.g., @racket[conn] returns), the connection's custodian is
shut down. Consequently, @racket[conn] need not close the ports
provided to it. Breaks are enabled in the connection thread if breaks
are enabled when @racket[run-server] is called.
To facilitate capturing a continuation in one connection thread and
invoking it in another, the parameterization of the
@racket[run-server] call is used for every call to
@racket[handler]. In this parameterization and for the connection's
thread, the @racket[current-custodian] parameter is assigned to the
connection's custodian.
If @racket[conn-timeout] is not @racket[#f], then it must be a
non-negative number specifying the time in seconds that a connection
thread is allowed to run before it is sent a break signal. Then, if
the thread runs longer than @racket[(* conn-timeout 2)] seconds, then
the connection's custodian is shut down. If @racket[conn-timeout] is
@racket[#f], a connection thread can run indefinitely.
If @racket[handler] is provided, it is passed exceptions related
to connections (i.e., exceptions not caught by @racket[conn-proc], or
exceptions that occur when trying to accept a connection). The default
handler ignores the exception and returns @|void-const|.
The @racket[run-server] function uses @racket[listen], @racket[close],
@racket[accept] and @racket[accept/break] in the same way as it might
use @racket[tcp-listen], @racket[tcp-close], @racket[tcp-accept], and
@racket[tcp-accept/enable-break] to accept connections. Provide
alternate procedures to use an alternate communication protocol (such
as SSL) or to supply optional arguments in the use of
@racket[tcp-listen]. The @racket[listener?] part of the contract
indicates that the procedures must all work on the same kind of
listener value.
The @racket[run-server] procedure loops to serve client connections,
so it never returns. If a break occurs, the loop will cleanly shut
down the server, but it will not terminate active connections.}
