💖 MCE::Channel::SimpleFast — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're reading the docs for MCE::Channel::SimpleFast, which lives in the Perl user-contributed docs section. no cap, this one's a lil speed demon. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

MCE::Channel::SimpleFast — a fast channel tuned for one producer and one consumer. it's giving dedicated lane energy. 🛣️💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this doc describes MCE::Channel::SimpleFast version 1.902. yes queen, version 1.902, write it down. 📝

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: this is a channel class that does queue-like and two-way communication for one process or thread on either end. and the best part? no locking needed. 😌🔓

it's similar to MCE::Channel::Simple but optimized for non-Unicode strings only. the main difference is that this module lacks freeze-thaw serialization. so non-string arguments just become stringified — i.e. numbers and undef. it's not deep, it's just vibes. 🙈

the API is described in MCE::Channel, with the sole difference being that send and send2 handle one argument. that's it, that's the tea. ☕

also, current module available since MCE 1.877. lowkey iconic, highkey useful.

👑 new

use MCE::Channel;

my $chnl = MCE::Channel->new( impl => 'SimpleFast' );

look at her. constructing a whole channel with impl => 'SimpleFast'. main character energy, fr fr. ✨

🎀 QUEUE-LIKE BEHAVIOR 🎀

these are the queue-y ones, bestie:

  • enqueue
  • dequeue
  • dequeue_nb
  • end

🫶 TWO-WAY IPC — PRODUCER TO CONSUMER 🫶

the producer slides into the consumer's DMs:

  • send
  • recv
  • recv_nb

💜 TWO-WAY IPC — CONSUMER TO PRODUCER 💜

and the consumer replies, because communication is a two-way street, periodt:

  • send2
  • recv2
  • recv2_nb
