Object

DexObject is the basic building block of types defined within libdex. Futures, Schedulers, and Channels all inherit from DexObject which provides features like thread-safe weak pointers and memory management operations.

Error Domains

Callbacks

FiberFunc

This function prototype is used for spawning fibers. A fiber is a lightweight, cooperative-multitasking feature where the fiber is given it’s own stack. The fiber runs until it reaches a point of suspension (using dex_await or similar) or exits the fiber.

FutureCallback

A DexFutureCallback can be executed from a DexBlock as response to another DexFuture resolving or rejecting.
