Crossbeam Channel
This crate provides multi-producer multi-consumer channels for message passing.
It is an alternative to std::sync::mpsc
with more features and better performance.
Some highlights:
Sender
s andReceiver
s can be cloned and shared among threads.- Two main kinds of channels are
bounded
andunbounded
. - Convenient extra channels like
after
,never
, andtick
. - The
select!
macro can block on multiple channel operations. Select
can select over a dynamically built list of channel operations.- Channels use locks very sparingly for maximum performance.
Usage
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
crossbeam-channel = "0.5"
Compatibility
Crossbeam Channel supports stable Rust releases going back at least six months, and every time the minimum supported Rust version is increased, a new minor version is released. Currently, the minimum supported Rust version is 1.38.
