Switon Sync Package

Switon's synchronization primitives for bounded handoff, mutual exclusion, task joining, and LIFO reuse in coroutine and non-coroutine runtimes.

Highlights

• Coroutine-friendly primitives: the same contracts work in coroutine and non-coroutine runtimes.
• Bounded channels: Channel provides fixed-capacity FIFO handoff.
• Scoped mutexes: Mutex::guard() returns a lock for deterministic release.
• Task joining: WaitGroup blocks until registered work finishes.
• LIFO reuse: Stack provides fixed-capacity last-in-first-out reuse.

Installation

composer require switon/sync

Quick Start

use Switon\Sync\Channel;
use Switon\Sync\Mutex;
use Switon\Sync\WaitGroup;

$channel = new Channel(2);
$channel->push('task-1');
$task = $channel->pop();

$mutex = new Mutex();
$lock = $mutex->guard();
try {
    // critical section
} finally {
    $lock->release();
}

$wg = WaitGroup::of(2);
$wg->done();
$wg->done();
$wg->wait();
