View Source FLAME.Trackable protocol (flame v0.5.1)
A protocol called to track resources.
This is invoked by FLAME from FLAME.track_resources/3
,
which is invoked when the :track_resources
option is
set to true.
Sometimes we may want to allocate long lived resources
in a FLAME but, because FLAME nodes are temporary, the
node would terminate shortly after. The :track_resources
option tells FLAME
to look for resources which implement
the FLAME.Trackable
protocol. Those resources can then
spawn PIDs in the remote node and tell FLAME to track them.
Once all PIDs terminate, the FLAME will terminate too.
Implementations of the protocol will receive the data type,
a list of pids as acc
, and the node
. It must return the
updated data type and an updated list of pids. If you need
to traverse recursively, you may call FLAME.track_resources/3
.
