//! Communication primitives for concurrent tasks
//!
//! Rust makes it very difficult to share data among tasks to prevent race
//! conditions and to improve parallelism, but there is often a need for
//! communication between concurrent tasks. The primitives defined in this
//! module are the building blocks for synchronization in rust.
//!
//! This module provides message-based communication over channels, concretely
//! defined among three types:
//!
//! * `Sender`
//! * `SyncSender`
//! * `Receiver`
//!
//! A `Sender` or `SyncSender` is used to send data to a `Receiver`. Both
//! senders are clone-able such that many tasks can send simultaneously to one
//! receiver.  These channels are *task blocking*, not *thread blocking*. This
//! means that if one task is blocked on a channel, other tasks can continue to
//! make progress.
//!
//! Rust channels come in one of two flavors:
//!
//! 1. An asynchronous, infinitely buffered channel. The `channel()` function
//!    will return a `(Sender, Receiver)` tuple where all sends will be
//!    **asynchronous** (they never block). The channel conceptually has an
//!    infinite buffer.
//!
//! 2. A synchronous, bounded channel. The `sync_channel()` function will return
//!    a `(SyncSender, Receiver)` tuple where the storage for pending messages
//!    is a pre-allocated buffer of a fixed size. All sends will be
//!    **synchronous** by blocking until there is buffer space available. Note
//!    that a bound of 0 is allowed, causing the channel to become a
//!    "rendezvous" channel where each sender atomically hands off a message to
//!    a receiver.
//!
//! ## Failure Propagation
//!
//! In addition to being a core primitive for communicating in rust, channels
//! are the points at which failure is propagated among tasks.  Whenever the one
//! half of channel is closed, the other half will have its next operation
//! `fail!`. The purpose of this is to allow propagation of failure among tasks
//! that are linked to one another via channels.
//!
//! There are methods on both of senders and receivers to perform their
//! respective operations without failing, however.
//!
//! ## Runtime Requirements
//!
//! The channel types defined in this module generally have very few runtime
//! requirements in order to operate. The major requirement they have is for a
//! local rust `Task` to be available if any *blocking* operation is performed.
//!
//! If a local `Task` is not available (for example an FFI callback), then the
//! `send` operation is safe on a `Sender` (as well as a `send_opt`) as well as
//! the `try_send` method on a `SyncSender`, but no other operations are
//! guaranteed to be safe.
//!
//! Additionally, channels can interoperate between runtimes. If one task in a
//! program is running on libnative and another is running on libgreen, they can
//! still communicate with one another using channels.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! Simple usage:
//!
//! ```
//! // Create a simple streaming channel
//! let (tx, rx) = channel();
//! spawn(proc() {
//!     tx.send(10i);
//! });
//! assert_eq!(rx.recv(), 10i);
//! ```
//!
//! Shared usage:
//!
//! ```
//! // Create a shared channel which can be sent along from many tasks
//! let (tx, rx) = channel();
//! for i in range(0i, 10i) {
//!     let tx = tx.clone();
//!     spawn(proc() {
//!         tx.send(i);
//!     })
//! }
//!
//! for _ in range(0i, 10i) {
//!     let j = rx.recv();
//!     assert!(0 <= j && j < 10);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Propagating failure:
//!
//! ```should_fail
//! // The call to recv() will fail!() because the channel has already hung
//! // up (or been deallocated)
//! let (tx, rx) = channel::<int>();
//! drop(tx);
//! rx.recv();
//! ```
//!
//! Synchronous channels:
//!
//! ```
//! let (tx, rx) = sync_channel::<int>(0);
//! spawn(proc() {
//!     // This will wait for the parent task to start receiving
//!     tx.send(53);
//! });
//! rx.recv();
//! ```
//!
//! Reading from a channel with a timeout requires to use a Timer together
//! with the channel. You can use the select! macro to select either and
//! handle the timeout case. This first example will break out of the loop
//! after 10 seconds no matter what:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::io::timer::Timer;
//!
//! let (tx, rx) = channel::<int>();
//! let mut timer = Timer::new().unwrap();
//! let timeout = timer.oneshot(10000);
//!
//! loop {
//!     select! {
//!         val = rx.recv() => println!("Received {}", val),
//!         () = timeout.recv() => {
//!             println!("timed out, total time was more than 10 seconds")
//!             break;
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This second example is more costly since it allocates a new timer every
//! time a message is received, but it allows you to timeout after the channel
//! has been inactive for 5 seconds:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::io::timer::Timer;
//!
//! let (tx, rx) = channel::<int>();
//! let mut timer = Timer::new().unwrap();
//!
//! loop {
//!     let timeout = timer.oneshot(5000);
//!
//!     select! {
//!         val = rx.recv() => println!("Received {}", val),
//!         () = timeout.recv() => {
//!             println!("timed out, no message received in 5 seconds")
//!             break;
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```

// A description of how Rust's channel implementation works
//
// Channels are supposed to be the basic building block for all other
// concurrent primitives that are used in Rust. As a result, the channel type
// needs to be highly optimized, flexible, and broad enough for use everywhere.
//
// The choice of implementation of all channels is to be built on lock-free data
// structures. The channels themselves are then consequently also lock-free data
// structures. As always with lock-free code, this is a very "here be dragons"
// territory, especially because I'm unaware of any academic papers which have
// gone into great length about channels of these flavors.
//
// ## Flavors of channels
//
// From the perspective of a consumer of this library, there is only one flavor
// of channel. This channel can be used as a stream and cloned to allow multiple
// senders. Under the hood, however, there are actually three flavors of
// channels in play.
//
// * Oneshots - these channels are highly optimized for the one-send use case.
//              They contain as few atomics as possible and involve one and
//              exactly one allocation.
// * Streams - these channels are optimized for the non-shared use case. They
//             use a different concurrent queue which is more tailored for this
//             use case. The initial allocation of this flavor of channel is not
//             optimized.
// * Shared - this is the most general form of channel that this module offers,
//            a channel with multiple senders. This type is as optimized as it
//            can be, but the previous two types mentioned are much faster for
//            their use-cases.
//
// ## Concurrent queues
//
// The basic idea of Rust's Sender/Receiver types is that send() never blocks, but
// recv() obviously blocks. This means that under the hood there must be some
// shared and concurrent queue holding all of the actual data.
//
// With two flavors of channels, two flavors of queues are also used. We have
// chosen to use queues from a well-known author which are abbreviated as SPSC
// and MPSC (single producer, single consumer and multiple producer, single
// consumer). SPSC queues are used for streams while MPSC queues are used for
// shared channels.
//
// ### SPSC optimizations
//
// The SPSC queue found online is essentially a linked list of nodes where one
// half of the nodes are the "queue of data" and the other half of nodes are a
// cache of unused nodes. The unused nodes are used such that an allocation is
// not required on every push() and a free doesn't need to happen on every
// pop().
//
// As found online, however, the cache of nodes is of an infinite size. This
// means that if a channel at one point in its life had 50k items in the queue,
// then the queue will always have the capacity for 50k items. I believed that
// this was an unnecessary limitation of the implementation, so I have altered
// the queue to optionally have a bound on the cache size.
//
// By default, streams will have an unbounded SPSC queue with a small-ish cache
// size. The hope is that the cache is still large enough to have very fast
// send() operations while not too large such that millions of channels can
// coexist at once.
//
// ### MPSC optimizations
//
// Right now the MPSC queue has not been optimized. Like the SPSC queue, it uses
// a linked list under the hood to earn its unboundedness, but I have not put
// forth much effort into having a cache of nodes similar to the SPSC queue.
//
// For now, I believe that this is "ok" because shared channels are not the most
// common type, but soon we may wish to revisit this queue choice and determine
// another candidate for backend storage of shared channels.
//
// ## Overview of the Implementation
//
// Now that there's a little background on the concurrent queues used, it's
// worth going into much more detail about the channels themselves. The basic
// pseudocode for a send/recv are:
//
//
//      send(t)                             recv()
//        queue.push(t)                       return if queue.pop()
//        if increment() == -1                deschedule {
//          wakeup()                            if decrement() > 0
//                                                cancel_deschedule()
//                                            }
//                                            queue.pop()
//
// As mentioned before, there are no locks in this implementation, only atomic
// instructions are used.
//
// ### The internal atomic counter
//
// Every channel has a shared counter with each half to keep track of the size
// of the queue. This counter is used to abort descheduling by the receiver and
// to know when to wake up on the sending side.
//
// As seen in the pseudocode, senders will increment this count and receivers
// will decrement the count. The theory behind this is that if a sender sees a
// -1 count, it will wake up the receiver, and if the receiver sees a 1+ count,
// then it doesn't need to block.
//
// The recv() method has a beginning call to pop(), and if successful, it needs
// to decrement the count. It is a crucial implementation detail that this
// decrement does *not* happen to the shared counter. If this were the case,
// then it would be possible for the counter to be very negative when there were
// no receivers waiting, in which case the senders would have to determine when
// it was actually appropriate to wake up a receiver.
//
// Instead, the "steal count" is kept track of separately (not atomically
// because it's only used by receivers), and then the decrement() call when
// descheduling will lump in all of the recent steals into one large decrement.
//
// The implication of this is that if a sender sees a -1 count, then there's
// guaranteed to be a waiter waiting!
//
// ## Native Implementation
//
// A major goal of these channels is to work seamlessly on and off the runtime.
// All of the previous race conditions have been worded in terms of
// scheduler-isms (which is obviously not available without the runtime).
//
// For now, native usage of channels (off the runtime) will fall back onto
// mutexes/cond vars for descheduling/atomic decisions. The no-contention path
// is still entirely lock-free, the "deschedule" blocks above are surrounded by
// a mutex and the "wakeup" blocks involve grabbing a mutex and signaling on a
// condition variable.
//
// ## Select
//
// Being able to support selection over channels has greatly influenced this
// design, and not only does selection need to work inside the runtime, but also
// outside the runtime.
//
// The implementation is fairly straightforward. The goal of select() is not to
// return some data, but only to return which channel can receive data without
// blocking. The implementation is essentially the entire blocking procedure
// followed by an increment as soon as its woken up. The cancellation procedure
// involves an increment and swapping out of to_wake to acquire ownership of the
// task to unblock.
//
// Sadly this current implementation requires multiple allocations, so I have
// seen the throughput of select() be much worse than it should be. I do not
// believe that there is anything fundamental which needs to change about these
// channels, however, in order to support a more efficient select().
//
// # Conclusion
//
// And now that you've seen all the races that I found and attempted to fix,
// here's the code for you to find some more!
