如何在Nim中编写异步代码以由计时器定期调用?

问题描述

我需要每500毫秒定期将缓存保存到磁盘上,该怎么办?

我尝试的代码未正确编译。另外,似乎asyncCheck应该用于错误检查。

import tables,os,asyncdispatch

var cache = init_table[string,int]()

proc save(cache: Table[string,int]): Future[void] {.async.} =
  echo cache

addTimer(
  timeout = 500,oneshot = false,cb = proc() = discard cache.save()
)

for i in (0..3):
  cache["a"] = i
  echo cache
  sleep 1000

解决方法

我认为这是您所追求的事情

import tables,asyncdispatch,strformat    

#global,GC'd variable,careful!         
var cache = initTable[string,int]()    
     
proc save(){.async.} =                                  
  while true:    
    echo &"writing cache:{cache}"    
    await sleepAsync(500)    

#just some fake data sources         
proc write1(){.async.} =  
  await sleepAsync(900)
  for i in 0..99:                                            
    cache["a"]=i     
    await sleepAsync(20)
#that happen at various rates
proc write2(){.async.} = 
  for i in 0..99:
     cache["b"]=i
     await sleepAsync(33)

#asyncCheck when we're not interested in the Future from a proc
#it will raise an Exception if the proc has an error
asyncCheck save() #save starts running asynchronously

echo "but we can still run other code"

waitFor:          #blocks here until both write1 and write2 finish            
  write1() and write2()

echo "writing is done but save is still running"
cache["c"]=17

#os.sleep would block the whole thread,including save so instead
waitFor(sleepAsync(500)) #wait for save to echo one more time

echo "quit"

输出类似:

writing cache:{:}
but we can still run other code
writing cache:{"b": 15}
writing cache:{"b": 30,"a": 4}
writing cache:{"b": 45,"a": 29}
writing cache:{"b": 59,"a": 54}
writing cache:{"b": 74,"a": 78}
writing cache:{"b": 89,"a": 99}
writing is done but save is still running
writing cache:{"b": 99,"c": 17,"a": 99}
quit
