(** Private internal module. Use {!Eio} instead. *)

(** @canonical Eio.Switch *)
module Switch : sig
  (** Many resources in Eio (such as fibers and file handles) require a switch to
      be provided when they are created. The resource cannot outlive its switch.

      If a function wants to create such resources, and was not passed a switch
      as an argument, it will need to create a switch using {!run}.
      This doesn't return until all resources attached to it have been freed,
      preventing the function from leaking resources.

      Any function creating resources that outlive it needs to be given a
      switch by its caller.

      Each switch includes its own {!Cancel.t} context.
      Calling {!fail} cancels all fibers attached to the switch and, once they
      have exited, reports the error.

      Note: this concept is known as a "nursery" or "bundle" in some other systems.

      Example:
      {[
         Switch.run (fun sw ->
            let flow = Dir.open_in ~sw dir "myfile.txt" in
            ...
         );
         (* [flow] will have been closed by this point *)
      ]}
  *)

  type t
  (** A switch contains a group of fibers and other resources (such as open file handles). *)

  (** {2 Switch creation} *)

  val run : ?name:string -> (t -> 'a) -> 'a
  (** [run fn] runs [fn] with a fresh switch (initially on).

      When [fn] finishes, [run] waits for all fibers registered with the switch to finish,
      and then releases all attached resources.

      If {!fail} is called, [run] will re-raise the exception (after everything is cleaned up).
      If [fn] raises an exception, it is passed to {!fail}.

      @param name Used to name the switch when tracing. *)

  val run_protected : ?name:string -> (t -> 'a) -> 'a
  (** [run_protected fn] is like [run] but ignores cancellation requests from the parent context. *)

  (** {2 Cancellation and failure} *)

  val check : t -> unit
  (** [check t] checks that [t] is still on.
      @raise Cancel.Cancelled If the switch has been cancelled. *)

  val get_error : t -> exn option
  (** [get_error t] is like [check t] except that it returns the exception instead of raising it.
      If [t] is finished, this returns (rather than raising) the [Invalid_argument] exception too. *)

  val fail : ?bt:Printexc.raw_backtrace -> t -> exn -> unit
  (** [fail t ex] adds [ex] to [t]'s set of failures and
      ensures that the switch's cancellation context is cancelled,
      to encourage all fibers to exit as soon as possible.

      [fail] returns immediately, without waiting for the shutdown actions to complete.
      The exception will be raised later by {!run}, and [run]'s caller is responsible for handling it.
      {!Exn.combine} is used to avoid duplicate or unnecessary exceptions.
      @param bt A backtrace to attach to [ex] *)

  (** {2 Cleaning up resources}

      It is possible to attach clean-up hooks to a switch.
      Once all fibers within the switch have finished, these hooks are called.
      For example, when a file is opened it will register a release hook to close it.

      Functions that create such resources will take a switch argument
      and call these functions for you.
      You usually don't need to call these directly. *)

  val on_release : t -> (unit -> unit) -> unit
  (** [on_release t fn] registers [fn] to be called once [t]'s main function has returned
      and all fibers have finished.

      If [fn] raises an exception, it is passed to {!fail}.

      Release handlers are run in LIFO order, in series.

      Note that [fn] is called within a {!Cancel.protect}, since aborting clean-up actions is usually a bad idea
      and the switch may have been cancelled by the time it runs.
      You cannot attach new resources to a switch once the cancel hooks start to run.

      This function is thread-safe (but not signal-safe).
      If the switch finishes before [fn] can be registered,
      it raises [Invalid_argument] and runs [fn] immediately instead. *)

  type hook
  (** A handle for removing a clean-up callback. *)

  val null_hook : hook
  (** A dummy hook. [try_remove_hook null_hook = false]. *)

  val on_release_cancellable : t -> (unit -> unit) -> hook
  (** Like [on_release], but the handler can be removed later.

      For example, opening a file will call [on_release_cancellable] to ensure the file is closed later.
      However, if the file is manually closed before that, it will use {!remove_hook} to remove the hook,
      which is no longer needed.

      This function is thread-safe (but not signal-safe). *)

  val try_remove_hook : hook -> bool
  (** [try_remove_hook h] removes a previously-added hook.
      Returns [true] if the hook was successfully removed, or [false] if another
      domain ran it or removed it first.

      This function is thread-safe (but not signal-safe). *)

  val remove_hook : hook -> unit
  (** [remove_hook h] is [ignore (try_remove_hook h)].

      For multi-domain code, consider using {!try_remove_hook} instead
      so that you can handle the case of trying to close a resource
      just as another domain is closing it or finishing the switch. *)

  (** {2 Debugging} *)

  val dump : t Fmt.t
  (** Dump out details of the switch's state for debugging. *)
end

(** @canonical Eio.Promise *)
module Promise : sig
  (** Unlike lazy values, you cannot "force" promises;
      a promise is resolved when the maker of the promise is ready.

      Promises are thread-safe and so can be shared between domains and used
      to communicate between them.

      Example:
      {[
        let promise, resolver = Promise.create () in
        Fiber.both
          (fun () -> traceln "Got %d" (Promise.await promise))
          (fun () -> Promise.resolve resolver 42)
      ]} *)

  type +!'a t
  (** An ['a t] is a promise for a value of type ['a]. *)

  type -!'a u
  (** An ['a u] is a resolver for a promise of type ['a]. *)

  val create : ?label:string -> unit -> 'a t * 'a u
  (** [create ()] is a fresh promise/resolver pair.
      The promise is initially unresolved. *)

  val create_resolved : 'a -> 'a t
  (** [create_resolved x] is a promise that is already resolved with result [x]. *)

  val await : 'a t -> 'a
  (** [await t] blocks until [t] is resolved.
      If [t] is already resolved then this returns immediately. *)

  val resolve : 'a u -> 'a -> unit
  (** [resolve u v] resolves [u]'s promise with the value [v].
      Any threads waiting for the result will be added to the run queue.
      @raise Invalid_argument if [u] is already resolved. *)

  val try_resolve : 'a u -> 'a -> bool
  (** [try_resolve] is like {!resolve} but returns [false] instead of raising [Invalid_argument].

      Returns [true] on success. *)

  val peek : 'a t -> 'a option
  (** [peek t] is [Some v] if the promise has been resolved to [v], or [None] otherwise.
      If the result is [None] then it may change in future, otherwise it won't.
      If another domain has access to the resolver then the state may have already
      changed by the time this call returns. *)

  val is_resolved : 'a t -> bool
  (** [is_resolved t] is [Option.is_some (peek t)]. *)

  (** {1 Result promises} *)

  type 'a or_exn = ('a, exn) result t

  val resolve_ok : ('a, 'b) result u -> 'a -> unit
  (** [resolve_ok u x] is [resolve u (Ok x)]. *)

  val resolve_error : ('a, 'b) result u -> 'b -> unit
  (** [resolve_error u x] is [resolve u (Error x)]. *)

  val await_exn : 'a or_exn -> 'a
  (** [await_exn t] is like [await t], but if the result is [Error ex] then it raises [ex]. *)
end

(** @canonical Eio.Fiber *)
module Fiber : sig
  (** Within a domain, only one fiber can be running at a time.
      A fiber runs until it performs an IO operation (directly or indirectly).
      At that point, it may be suspended and the next fiber on the run queue runs. *)

  val both : (unit -> unit) -> (unit -> unit) -> unit
  (** [both f g] runs [f ()] and [g ()] concurrently.

      They run in a new cancellation sub-context, and
      if either raises an exception, the other is cancelled.
      [both] waits for both functions to finish even if one raises
      (it will then re-raise the original exception).

      [f] runs immediately, without switching to any other thread.
      [g] is inserted at the head of the run-queue, so it runs next even if other threads are already enqueued.
      You can get other scheduling orders by adding calls to {!yield} in various places.
      e.g. to append both fibers to the end of the run-queue, yield immediately before calling [both].

      If both fibers fail, {!Exn.combine} is used to combine the exceptions. *)

  val pair : (unit -> 'a) -> (unit -> 'b) -> 'a * 'b
  (** [pair f g] is like [both], but returns the two results. *)

  val all : (unit -> unit) list -> unit
  (** [all fs] is like [both], but for any number of fibers.
      [all []] returns immediately. *)

  val first : ?combine:('a -> 'a -> 'a) -> (unit -> 'a) -> (unit -> 'a) -> 'a
  (** [first f g] runs [f ()] and [g ()] concurrently.

      They run in a new cancellation sub-context, and when one finishes the other is cancelled.
      If one raises, the other is cancelled and the exception is reported.

      As with [both], [f] runs immediately and [g] is scheduled next, ahead of any other queued work.

      If both fibers fail, {!Exn.combine} is used to combine the exceptions.

      Warning: it is always possible that {i both} operations will succeed.
      This is because there is a period of time after the first operation succeeds
      when it is waiting in the run-queue to resume
      during which the other operation may also succeed.

      If both fibers succeed, [combine a b] is used to combine the results
      (where [a] is the result of the first fiber to return and [b] is the second result).
      The default is [fun a _ -> a], which discards the later result. *)

  val any : ?combine:('a -> 'a -> 'a) -> (unit -> 'a) list -> 'a
  (** [any fs] is like [first], but for any number of fibers.

      [any []] just waits forever (or until cancelled). *)

  val n_any : (unit -> 'a) list -> 'a list

      The returned sequence can be consumed safely from another domain.
      [fn] itself always runs in the domain that called [fork_seq].

(** @canonical Eio.Cancel *)
module Cancel : sig
  (** This is the low-level interface to cancellation.
      Every {!Switch} includes a cancellation context and most users will just use that API instead.

      Each domain has a tree of cancellation contexts, and every fiber is registered with one context.
      A fiber can switch to a different context (e.g. by calling {!sub}).
      When a context is cancelled, all registered fibers have their current cancellation function (if any)
      called and removed. Child contexts are cancelled too, recursively, unless marked as protected.

      Many operations also check that the current context hasn't been cancelled,
      so if a fiber is performing a non-cancellable operation it will still get cancelled soon afterwards.
      This check is typically done when starting an operation, not at the end.
      If an operation is cancelled after succeeding, but while still waiting on the run queue,
      it will still return the operation's result.
      A notable exception is {!Fiber.yield}, which checks at the end.
      You can also use {!Fiber.check} to check manually.

      Whether a fiber is cancelled through a cancellation function or by checking its context,
      it will receive a {!Cancelled} exception.
      It is possible the exception will get lost (if something catches it and forgets to re-raise).
      It is also possible to get this exception even when not cancelled, for example by awaiting
      a promise which another fiber has resolved to a cancelled exception.
      When in doubt, use [Fiber.check ()] to find out if your fiber is really cancelled.
      Ideally this should be done any time you have caught an exception and are planning to ignore it,
      although if you forget then the next IO operation will typically abort anyway.

      When handling a [Cancelled] exception, quick clean-up actions
      (such as releasing a mutex or deleting a temporary file) are OK,
      but operations that may block should be avoided.
      For example, a network connection should simply be closed,
      without attempting to send a goodbye message.

    (** {2 Cancellation}

        The {!Cancel} module describes the user's view of cancellation.

        Internally, when the user calls a primitive operation that needs to block the fiber,
        the [Suspend callback] effect is performed.
        This suspends the fiber and calls [callback] from the scheduler's context,
        passing it the suspended fiber's context.
        If the operation can be cancelled,
        the callback should use {!set_cancel_fn} to register a cancellation function.

        There are two possible outcomes for the operation: it may complete normally,
        or it may be cancelled.
        If it is cancelled then the registered cancellation function is called.
        This function will always be called from the fiber's own domain, but care must be taken
        if the operation could be completed by another domain at the same time.

        Consider the case of {!Stream.take}, which can be fulfilled by a {!Stream.add} from another domain.
        We want to ensure that either the item is removed from the stream and returned to the waiting fiber,
        or that the operation is cancelled and the item is not removed from the stream.

        Therefore, cancelling and completing both need to update an atomic value (with {!Atomic.compare_and_set})
        so that only one can succeed. The case where [Stream.take] succeeds before cancellation:

        + A fiber calls [Suspend] and is suspended.
          The callback sets a cancel function and registers a waiter on the stream.
        + When another domain has an item, it marks the atomic as finished (making the [take] uncancellable)
          and begins resuming the fiber with the new item.
        + If the taking fiber is cancelled after this, the cancellation must be ignored and the operation
          will complete successfully. Future operations will fail immediately, however.

        The case of cancellation winning the race:

        + A fiber calls [Suspend] and is suspended.
          The callback sets a cancel function and registers a waiter on the stream.
        + The taking fiber is cancelled. Its cancellation function is called,
          which updates the atomic and starts removing the waiter.
        + If another domain tries to provide an item to the waiter as this is happening,
          it will try to update the atomic too and fail.
          The item will be given to the next waiter instead.

        Note: A fiber will only have a cancel function set while it is suspended. *)

    val cancellation_context : t -> Cancel.t
    (** [cancellation_context t] is [t]'s current cancellation context. *)

    val set_cancel_fn : t -> (exn -> unit) -> unit
    (** [set_cancel_fn t fn] sets [fn] as the fiber's cancel function.

        If [t]'s cancellation context is cancelled, the function is called.
        It should attempt to make the current operation finish quickly, either with
        a successful result or by raising the given exception.

        Just before being called, the fiber's cancel function is replaced with [ignore]
        so that [fn] cannot be called twice.

        On success, the cancel function is cleared automatically when {!Suspend.enter} returns,
        but for single-domain operations you may like to call {!clear_cancel_fn}
        manually to remove it earlier.

        [fn] will be called from [t]'s domain (from the fiber that called [cancel]).

        [fn] must not switch fibers. If it did, this could happen:

        + Another suspended fiber in the same cancellation context resumes before
          its cancel function is called.
        + It enters a protected block and starts a new operation.
        + [fn] returns.
        + We cancel the protected operation. *)

    val clear_cancel_fn : t -> unit
    (** [clear_cancel_fn t] is [set_cancel_fn t ignore].

        This must only be called from the fiber's own domain.

        For single-domain operations, it can be useful to call this manually as soon as
        the operation succeeds (i.e. when the fiber is added to the run-queue)
        to prevent the cancel function from being called.

        For operations where another domain may resume the fiber, your cancel function
        will need to cope with being called after the operation has succeeded. In that
        case you should not call [clear_cancel_fn]. The backend will do it automatically
        just before resuming your fiber. *)
