built-in predicate

threaded_notify/1

Description

threaded_notify(Term)
threaded_notify([Term| Terms])

Sends Term as a notification to any thread suspended waiting for it in order to proceed. The call must be made within the same object (this) containing the calls to the threaded_wait/1 predicate waiting for the notification. The argument may also be a list of notifications, [Term| Terms]. In this case, all notifications in the list will be sent to any threads suspended waiting for them in order to proceed.

Note

This predicate requires a backend Prolog compiler providing compatible multi-threading primitives. The value of the read-only threads flag is set to supported when that is the case.

Modes and number of proofs

threaded_notify(@term) - one
threaded_notify(@list(term)) - one

Errors

(none)

Examples

% send a "data_available" notification:
..., threaded_notify(data_available), ...
