Module Rpc.BackSource

The back-end of the shared ring, which reads requests and writes responses to the remote domain.

Sourcetype ('a, 'b) t

Type of a backend. 'a is the response type, and 'b is the request id type (e.g. int or int64).

Sourceval init : sring:sring -> ('a, 'b) t

init ~sring is an initialized backend attached to shared ring sring.

Sourceval slot : ('a, 'b) t -> int -> Cstruct.t

slot backend idx retrieves the request/response slot at idx as an Cstruct.t. idx should be less than nr_ents.

Sourceval nr_ents : ('a, 'b) t -> int

nr_ents backend is the number of slots in the underlying shared ring.

Sourceval next_res_id : ('a, 'b) t -> int

next_res_id backend advances the response producer and return the latest slot id.

Sourceval push_responses : ('a, 'b) t -> unit

push_responses backend updates the shared response producer.

Sourceval push_responses_and_check_notify : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

push_responses_and_check_notify backend updates the shared response producer, and returns true if an event notification is required to wake up the remote domain.

Sourceval more_to_do : ('a, 'b) t -> bool

more_to_do backend returns true if there are outstanding requests on the ring which we should immediately process without waiting for an event notification.

Sourceval ack_requests : ('a, 'b) t -> (Cstruct.t -> unit) -> unit

ack_requests t fn applies fn slot to each slot containing a new request.

Sourceval to_string : ('a, 'b) t -> string

to_string backend pretty-prints the ring metadata.
