synchronized 3.6.1

Lock mechanism to prevent concurrent access to asynchronous code.

Changelog

3.6.1

• GlobalLock (io): the heartbeat runs in its own isolate, so the lock stays held while the event loop of the holder is blocked (synchronous work, Process.runSync), is released at once when the holder isolate exits or is killed without releasing it (instead of 10 seconds later), and no longer keeps the holder isolate alive
• Document that on node the lock only covers the current process (its Web Locks API)

3.6.0

• Add GlobalLock (package:synchronized/global_lock.dart), a named lock shared by the isolates and processes of the machine (a lock file with a heartbeat, taken over 10 seconds after its holder died) or by the tabs and workers of the origin on the web (Web Locks API), with synchronized and acquire/release

3.5.0

• Fix ReentrantLock.canLock reporting the lock free right after a synchronous block while other calls were still queued, which let synchronizedSync run before earlier synchronized calls. In that case canLock is now false and synchronizedSync returns a Future that completes in order.
• Example: readme2 was never called and now uses canLock

3.4.2

• Add synchronized-lock agent skill (skills/), installable with dart run skills@ get

3.4.1+2

• Requires dart 3.12
• Improve documentation
• MultiLock timeout now bounds the whole acquisition (one shared budget) instead of each underlying lock
• MultiLock copies its locks at construction
• synchronizedSync asserts (in debug mode) when the computation returns a Future
• ReentrantLock.canLock throws a StateError (instead of a RangeError, or true) when called from a zone that outlived its synchronized block
• Add MultiLock.toString
