Racket's synchronization toolbox spans four layers:
|
|
|
|
@itemize[
|
|
|
|
@item{@tech{synchronizable events} --- a general framework for
|
|
synchronization;}
|
|
|
|
@item{@tech{channels} --- a primitive that can be used, in principle,
|
|
to build most other kinds of synchronizable events (except the ones
|
|
that compose events); and}
|
|
|
|
@item{@tech{semaphores} --- a simple and especially cheap primitive
|
|
for synchronization.}
|
|
|
|
@item{@tech{future semaphores} --- a simple synchronization primitive
|
|
for use with @tech{futures}.}
