|
garbage collector) to be unreachable, except through weak references
|
|
(see <a href="weakbox.html" data-pltdoc="x">Weak Boxes</a>) or as the registrant for other will
|
|
executors. A <a href="willexecutor.html#%28tech._will%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">will</span></a> is useful for triggering clean-up actions on

|
data associated with an unreachable value, such as closing a port

|

|
|
procedure executes a will that is ready in the specified will
|
|
executor. A will executor is also a <a href="sync.html#%28tech._synchronizable._event%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">synchronizable event</span></a>, so <span class="RktSym"><a href="sync.html#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._sync%29%29" class="RktValLink" data-pltdoc="x">sync</a></span>

|
|
ready wills. Wills are not executed automatically, because certain
|
|
programs need control to avoid race conditions. However, a program can
|
|
create a thread whose sole job is to execute wills for a particular
|
|
executor.</p><p>If a value is registered with multiple wills (in one or multiple
|
|
executors), the wills are readied in the reverse order of
|
|
registration. Since readying a will procedure makes the value
|
|
reachable again, the will must be executed and the value must be
|
|
proven again unreachable through only weak references before another
|
|
of the wills is readied or executed. However, wills for distinct
|
|
unreachable values are readied at the same time, regardless of whether
|
|
the values are reachable from each other.</p><p>A will executor’s registrant is held non-weakly until after the
|
|
corresponding will procedure is executed. Thus, if the content value
|
|
of a weak box (see <a href="weakbox.html" data-pltdoc="x">Weak Boxes</a>) is registered with a will
|
|
executor, the weak box’s content is not changed to <span class="RktVal">#f</span> until
|
|
all wills have been executed for the value and the value has been
|
|
proven again reachable through only weak references.</p><p>A will executor can be used as a <a href="sync.html#%28tech._synchronizable._event%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">synchronizable event</span></a> (see <a href="sync.html" data-pltdoc="x">Events</a>).
|
|
A will executor is <a href="sync.html#%28tech._ready._for._synchronization%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">ready for synchronization</span></a> when
|
|
<span class="RktSym"><a href="willexecutor.html#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._will-execute%29%29" class="RktValLink" data-pltdoc="x">will-execute</a></span> would not block; the <a href="sync.html#%28tech._synchronization._result%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">synchronization result</span></a> of a will executor is the will executor itself.</p><p><div class="SIntrapara">These examples show how to run cleanup actions when
