Multithreading

Threading primitives and the cooperative message-thread model that keeps UI and audio work correctly separated.

Modules covered: threading facilities in yup_core.

Warning

Work in progress. This area is still being written. Reference pages for threads, the message-thread contract, synchronization primitives, and audio-thread safety are still to come.

Topics

• Threads - Thread, thread pools, and background work.

• Message thread - the MessageManager, MessageManagerLock, and posting work back to the UI thread.

• Synchronization - CriticalSection, atomics, and lock-free patterns for the audio thread.

• Async - timers, async updaters, and deferred callbacks.

• Cancellation - CancelToken: request, block on, and observe operation cancellation.
