Class Method Details

.future(arg, cb = nil, eb = nil, &blk) ⇒ Object

Evaluate arg (which may be an expression or a block). What’s the class of arg? If arg is an ordinary expression, then return it. If arg is deferrable (responds to :set_deferred_status), then look at the arguments. If either callback or errback are defined, then use them. If neither are defined, then use the supplied block (if any) as the callback. Then return arg.

#set_deferred_status(arg, *args) ⇒ Object

Note that if you call this method without arguments, no arguments will be passed to the callback/errback. If the user has coded these with arguments, then the user code will throw an argument exception. Implementors of deferrable classes must document the arguments they will supply to user callbacks.

OBSERVE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL here: you may call this method even on the INSIDE of a callback. This is very useful when a previously-registered callback wants to change the parameters that will be passed to subsequently-registered ones. – We’re shifting callbacks off and discarding them as we execute them. This is valid because by definition callbacks are executed no more than once. It also has the magic effect of permitting recursive calls, which means that a callback can call #set_deferred_status and change the parameters that will be sent to subsequent callbacks down the chain.
