Risky Biz Podcast: Making Reachability Analysis Work in Real-World Codebases
This episode explores the hard problem of reachability analysis, from static analysis limits to handling dynamic languages and massive dependency trees.
JavaScript Cooperative Multitasking Locks and Jobs Processing
This is port of Python's asyncio locks, futures and queues modules along with batch processing routines.
To use this code in NodeJS, import
the jscoop
module to get all the
available functionality, or you can selectively import the sub modules, such as
jscoop/locks
, jscoop/queues
, etc. See the src
directory or src/coop.js
for details.
import * as coop from 'jscoop';
(async function() {
const sem = new coop.Semaphore(2);
await sem.acquire();
await sem.acquire();
await sem.acquire(); // blocks
})();
For a browser you need to place the files somewhere that your web server
can find them and import
the full path to the coop.js
file, or one of
the other submodules if you only want some of the functionality.
<script type="module">
import * as coop from 'jscoop/src/coop.js';
(async function() {
const sem = new coop.Semaphore(2);
await sem.acquire();
await sem.acquire();
await sem.acquire(); // blocks
})();
</script>
jobs.UnorderedWorkQueue - Node
import * as jobs from 'jscoop/jobs';
const bufWork = new jobs.UnorderedWorkQueue({maxPending: 10});
async function sleep(ms) {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}
async function producer() {
for (let i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
// Enqueue a random sleep that returns it's start order.
await bufWork.enqueue(sleep(Math.random() * 1000).then(() => i));
console.info('Added to queue', i);
}
}
async function consumer() {
for await (const i of bufWork) {
console.info('Consumed finished result', i);
}
}
(async () => {
await Promise.all([producer(), consumer()]);
console.info("Job compete");
})();
locks.Lock - Browser
import * as locks from 'jscoop/src/locks.js';
(async () => {
const lock = new locks.Lock();
await lock.acquire();
lock.release();
await lock.acquire();
await lock.acquire(); // blocks
})();
queues.Queue - Node
import * as queues from 'jscoop/queues';
(async () => {
const q = new queues.Queue();
q.put(1);
q.put(2);
await q.get(); // 1
await q.get(); // 2
await q.get(); // blocks
})();
