A recurring, successively signaled parametric event with a payload allowing a simple mechanism to coordinate between concurrent tasks.
Verse using statement |
using { /Verse.org/Verse } |
event<public>(t:any)<computes>:event(t)
This function is a parametric type, meaning it returns a class or interface rather than a value or object instance.
Parameters
event takes the following parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
t |
any |
Generated Class
event returns the parametric class event(t).
Attributes, Specifiers, and Effects
Specifiers
The following specifiers determine how you can interact with event in your programs. For the complete list of specifiers, see the Specifiers Page.
| Specifier | Meaning |
|---|---|
public |
The identifier is universally accessible. You can use this on modules, classes, interfaces, structs, enums, methods, and data. |
Effects
The following effects determine how event behaves in your programs. For the complete list of effects, see the Effect Specifers section of the Specifiers Page.
| Effect | Meaning |
|---|---|
computes |
This effect requires that the function has no side effects, and is not guaranteed to complete. There's an unchecked requirement that the function, when provided with the same arguments, produces the same result. Any function that doesn't have the native specifier that would otherwise have the converges effect is a good example of using the computes effect. |
