The Volatile class

(PECL pthreads >= 3.0.0)

Introducción

The Volatile class is new to pthreads v3. Its introduction is a consequence of the new immutability semantics of Threaded members of Threaded classes. The Volatile class enables for mutability of its Threaded members, and is also used to store PHP arrays in Threaded contexts.

Sinopsis de la Clase

class Volatile extends Threaded implements Collectable, Traversable {
/* Métodos heredados */
public Threaded::chunk(int $size, bool $preserve): array
public Threaded::extend(string $class): bool
public Threaded::merge(mixed $from, bool $overwrite = ?): bool
public Threaded::synchronized(Closure $block, mixed ...$args): mixed
public Threaded::wait(int $timeout = ?): bool
}

Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 New immutability semantics of Threaded

<?php

class Task extends Threaded
{
public function
__construct()
{
$this->data = new Threaded();

// attempt to overwrite a Threaded property of a Threaded class (invalid)
$this->data = new stdClass();
}
}

var_dump((new Task())->data);

El resultado del ejemplo sería algo similar a:

RuntimeException: Threaded members previously set to Threaded objects are immutable, cannot overwrite data in %s:%d

Ejemplo #2 Volatile use-case

<?php

class Task extends Volatile
{
public function
__construct()
{
$this->data = new Threaded();

// attempt to overwrite a Threaded property of a Volatile class (valid)
$this->data = new stdClass();
}
}

var_dump((new Task())->data);

El resultado del ejemplo sería algo similar a:

object(stdClass)#3 (0) {
}
