A synchronization primitive, which allows one task to wait for a number of other tasks to complete. It can be used in conjunction with {Semaphore}.

Example

require 'async'
require 'async/barrier'

barrier = Async::Barrier.new
Sync do
	Console.info("Barrier Example: sleep sort.")
	
	# Generate an array of 10 numbers:
	numbers = 10.times.map{rand(10)}
	sorted = []
	
	# Sleep sort the numbers:
	numbers.each do |number|
		barrier.async do |task|
			sleep(number)
			sorted << number
		end
	end
	
	# Wait for all the numbers to be sorted:
	barrier.wait
	
	Console.info("Sorted", sorted)
ensure
	# Ensure all the tasks are stopped when we exit:
	barrier.stop
end

Output

0.0s     info: Barrier Example: sleep sort.
9.0s     info: Sorted
