MCE::Channel::ThreadsFast - Fast channel for producer(s) and many consumers

perl v5.40.0                                       2025-01-11                     MCE::Channel::ThreadsFast(3pm)

       A channel class providing queue-like and two-way communication for threads only. Locking is handled using
       threads::shared.

       This is similar to MCE::Channel::Threads but optimized for non-Unicode strings only. The main difference
       is that this module lacks freeze-thaw serialization. Non-string arguments become stringified; i.e.
       numbers and undef.

       The API is described in MCE::Channel with the sole difference being "send" and "send2" handle one
       argument.

       Current module available since MCE 1.877.

       new
           use MCE::Channel;

           # The default is tuned for one producer and many consumers.
           my $chnl_a = MCE::Channel->new( impl => 'ThreadsFast' );

           # Specify the 'mp' option for safe use by two or more producers
           # sending or receiving on the left side of the channel (i.e.
           # ->enqueue/->send or ->recv2/->recv2_nb).

           my $chnl_b = MCE::Channel->new( impl => 'ThreadsFast', mp => 1 );

       The  t/04_channel_threads  tests are disabled on Unix platforms for Perl less than 5.10.1. Basically, the
       MCE::Channel::ThreadsFast implementation is not supported on older Perls unless  the  OS  vendor  applied
       upstream patches (i.e. works on RedHat/CentOS 5.x running Perl 5.8.x).
