its memory budget, which causes a run-time signal. To help control this

possibility, a semi-synchronous send operation is possible, which blocks until

Sending a value through a channel can be done via two different expressions.
|
||||
Both expressions take an @emph{lval}, denoting a channel, and a value to send
|
||||
into the channel. The action of @emph{sending} varies depending on the
|
||||
@dfn{send operator} employed.
|
||||
Sending a value into a channel is done by the send operator @code{<|}, which
|
||||
takes a channel and a value to send, and moves the value into the channel's
|
||||
outgoing buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
The @emph{asynchronous send} operator @code{<+} adds a value to the channel's
|
||||
queue, without blocking. If the queue is full, it is extended, taking memory
|
||||
from the task's domain. If the task memory budget is exhausted, a signal is
|
||||
sent to the task.
|
||||
|
||||
The @emph{semi-synchronous send} operator @code{<|} adds a value to the
|
||||
channel's queue @emph{only if} the queue has room; if the queue is full, the
|
||||
operation @emph{blocks} the sender until the queue has room.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
