crossbeam-channel

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:

• Senders and Receivers can be cloned and shared among threads.
• Two main kinds of channels are bounded and unbounded.
• Convenient extra channels like after, never, and tick.
• 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 1.60.
