Trampoline (interface)

A trampolined execution environment.

In order to drive rendezvouz between multiple running fibers it is important to be able to commence running a fiber without growing the stack. Otherwise, arbitrary numbers of constructs like deferred will cause unbounded stack growth.

Signature

export interface Trampoline {
  /**
   * Is the trampoline currently running
   */
  isRunning(): boolean
  /**
   * Dispatch a thunk against this trampoline.
   *
   * If the trampoline is not currently active this immediately begins executing the thunk.
   * If the trampoline is currently active then the thunk will be appended to a queue
   * @param thunk
   */
  dispatch(thunk: Lazy<void>): void
}
