An example of using
open_channel
to implement asynchronous functions in emacs dynamic modules.
Obviously a particularly contrived example and in the real world you would probably prefer to use a thread pool of some sort, but works.
- Handling
kill-processon our pipe process (or the pipe just breaking, for whatever reason)- This could be done by adding a deinit function in our dynamic module and installing a process sentinel on the pipe process that detects being killed and calls the dynamic module's deinit function.
