# \Ractor is an Actor-model abstraction for Ruby that provides thread-safe parallel execution.
#
# Ractor.new makes a new \Ractor, which can run in parallel.
#
#     # The simplest ractor
#     r = Ractor.new {puts "I am in Ractor!"}
#     r.take # wait for it to finish
#     # Here, "I am in Ractor!" is printed
#
# Ractors do not share all objects with each other. There are two main benefits to this: across ractors, thread-safety
# concerns such as data-races and race-conditions are not possible. The other benefit is parallelism.
#
# To achieve this, object sharing is limited across ractors.
# For example, unlike in threads, ractors can't access all the objects available in other ractors. Even objects normally
# available through variables in the outer scope are prohibited from being used across ractors.
#
#     a = 1
#     r = Ractor.new {puts "I am in Ractor! a=#{a}"}
#     # fails immediately with
#     # ArgumentError (can not isolate a Proc because it accesses outer variables (a).)
#
# The object must be explicity shared:
#     a = 1
#     r = Ractor.new(a) { |a1| puts "I am in Ractor! a=#{a1}"}
#
# On CRuby (the default implementation), Global Virtual Machine Lock (GVL) is held per ractor, so
# ractors can perform in parallel without locking each other. This is unlike the situation with threads
# on CRuby.
#
# Instead of accessing shared state, objects should be passed to and from ractors by
# sending and receiving them as messages.
#
#     a = 1
#     r = Ractor.new do
#       a_in_ractor = receive # receive blocks until somebody passes a message
#       puts "I am in Ractor! a=#{a_in_ractor}"
#     end
#     r.send(a)  # pass it
#     r.take
#     # Here, "I am in Ractor! a=1" is printed
#
# There are two pairs of methods for sending/receiving messages:
#
# * Ractor#send and Ractor.receive for when the _sender_ knows the receiver (push);
# * Ractor.yield and Ractor#take for when the _receiver_ knows the sender (pull);
#
# In addition to that, any arguments passed to Ractor.new are passed to the block and available there
# as if received by Ractor.receive, and the last block value is sent outside of the
# ractor as if sent by Ractor.yield.
#
# A little demonstration of a classic ping-pong:
#
#     server = Ractor.new(name: "server") do
#       puts "Server starts: #{self.inspect}"
#       puts "Server sends: ping"
#       Ractor.yield 'ping'                       # The server doesn't know the receiver and sends to whoever interested
#       received = Ractor.receive                 # The server doesn't know the sender and receives from whoever sent
#       puts "Server received: #{received}"
#     end
#
#     client = Ractor.new(server) do |srv|        # The server is sent to the client, and available as srv
#       puts "Client starts: #{self.inspect}"
#       received = srv.take                       # The client takes a message from the server
#       puts "Client received from " \
#            "#{srv.inspect}: #{received}"
#       puts "Client sends to " \
#            "#{srv.inspect}: pong"
#       srv.send 'pong'                           # The client sends a message to the server
#     end
#
#     [client, server].each(&:take)               # Wait until they both finish
#
# This will output something like:
#
#     Server starts: #<Ractor:#2 server test.rb:1 running>
#     Server sends: ping
#     Client starts: #<Ractor:#3 test.rb:8 running>
#     Client received from #<Ractor:#2 server test.rb:1 blocking>: ping
#     Client sends to #<Ractor:#2 server test.rb:1 blocking>: pong
#     Server received: pong
#
# Ractors receive their messages via the <em>incoming port</em>, and send them
# to the <em>outgoing port</em>. Either one can be disabled with Ractor#close_incoming and
# Ractor#close_outgoing, respectively. When a ractor terminates, its ports are closed
# automatically.
#
# == Shareable and unshareable objects
#
# When an object is sent to and from a ractor, it's important to understand whether the
# object is shareable or unshareable. Most Ruby objects are unshareable objects. Even
# frozen objects can be unshareable if they contain (through their instance variables) unfrozen
# objects.
#
# Shareable objects are those which can be used by several threads without compromising
# thread-safety, for example numbers, +true+ and +false+. Ractor.shareable? allows you to check this,
# and Ractor.make_shareable tries to make the object shareable if it's not already, and gives an error
# if it can't do it.
#
#     Ractor.shareable?(1)            #=> true -- numbers and other immutable basic values are shareable
#     Ractor.shareable?('foo')        #=> false, unless the string is frozen due to # frozen_string_literal: true
#     Ractor.shareable?('foo'.freeze) #=> true
#     Ractor.shareable?([Object.new].freeze) #=> false, inner object is unfrozen
#
#     ary = ['hello', 'world']
#     ary.frozen?                 #=> false
#     ary[0].frozen?              #=> false
#     Ractor.make_shareable(ary)
#     ary.frozen?                 #=> true
#     ary[0].frozen?              #=> true
#     ary[1].frozen?              #=> true
#
# When a shareable object is sent (via #send or Ractor.yield), no additional processing occurs
# on it. It just becomes usable by both ractors. When an unshareable object is sent, it can be
# either _copied_ or _moved_. The first is the default, and it copies the object fully by
# deep cloning (Object#clone) the non-shareable parts of its structure.
#
#     data = ['foo', 'bar'.freeze]
#     r = Ractor.new do
#       data2 = Ractor.receive
#       puts "In ractor: #{data2.object_id}, #{data2[0].object_id}, #{data2[1].object_id}"
#     end
#     r.send(data)
#     r.take
#     puts "Outside  : #{data.object_id}, #{data[0].object_id}, #{data[1].object_id}"
#
# This will output something like:
#
#     In ractor: 340, 360, 320
#     Outside  : 380, 400, 320
#
# Note that the object ids of the array and the non-frozen string inside the array have changed in
# the ractor because they are different objects. The second array's element, which is a
# shareable frozen string, is the same object.
#
# Deep cloning of objects may be slow, and sometimes impossible. Alternatively, <tt>move: true</tt> may
# be used during sending. This will <em>move</em> the unshareable object to the receiving ractor, making it
# inaccessible to the sending ractor.
#
#     data = ['foo', 'bar']
#     r = Ractor.new do
#       data_in_ractor = Ractor.receive
#       puts "In ractor: #{data_in_ractor.object_id}, #{data_in_ractor[0].object_id}"
#     end
#     r.send(data, move: true)
#     r.take
#     puts "Outside: moved? #{Ractor::MovedObject === data}"
#     puts "Outside: #{data.inspect}"
#
# This will output:
#
#     In ractor: 100, 120
#     Outside: moved? true
#     test.rb:9:in `method_missing': can not send any methods to a moved object (Ractor::MovedError)
#
# Notice that even +inspect+ (and more basic methods like <tt>__id__</tt>) is inaccessible
# on a moved object.
#
# Class and Module objects are shareable so the class/module definitions are shared between ractors.
# \Ractor objects are also shareable. All operations on shareable objects are thread-safe, so the thread-safety property
# will be kept. We can not define mutable shareable objects in Ruby, but C extensions can introduce them.
#
# It is prohibited to access (get) instance variables of shareable objects in other ractors if the values of the
# variables aren't shareable. This can occur because modules/classes are shareable, but they can have
# instance variables whose values are not. In non-main ractors, it's also prohibited to set instance
# variables on classes/modules (even if the value is shareable).
#
#     class C
#       class << self
#         attr_accessor :tricky
#       end
#     end
#
#     C.tricky = "unshareable".dup
#
#     r = Ractor.new(C) do |cls|
#       puts "I see #{cls}"
#       puts "I can't see #{cls.tricky}"
#       cls.tricky = true # doesn't get here, but this would also raise an error
#     end
#     r.take
#     # I see C
#     # can not access instance variables of classes/modules from non-main Ractors (RuntimeError)
#
# Ractors can access constants if they are shareable. The main \Ractor is the only one that can
# access non-shareable constants.
#
#     GOOD = 'good'.freeze
#     BAD = 'bad'.dup
#
#     r = Ractor.new do
#       puts "GOOD=#{GOOD}"
#       puts "BAD=#{BAD}"
#     end
#     r.take
#     # GOOD=good
#     # can not access non-shareable objects in constant Object::BAD by non-main Ractor. (NameError)
#
#     # Consider the same C class from above
#
#     r = Ractor.new do
#       puts "I see #{C}"
#       puts "I can't see #{C.tricky}"
#     end
#     r.take
#     # I see C
#     # can not access instance variables of classes/modules from non-main Ractors (RuntimeError)
#
# See also the description of <tt># shareable_constant_value</tt> pragma in
# {Comments syntax}[rdoc-ref:syntax/comments.rdoc] explanation.
#
# == Ractors vs threads
#
# Each ractor has its own main Thread. New threads can be created from inside ractors
# (and, on CRuby, they share the GVL with other threads of this ractor).
#
#     r = Ractor.new do
#       a = 1
#       Thread.new {puts "Thread in ractor: a=#{a}"}.join
#     end
#     r.take
#     # Here "Thread in ractor: a=1" will be printed
#
# == Note on code examples
#
# In the examples below, sometimes we use the following method to wait for ractors that
# are not currently blocked to finish (or to make progress).
#
#     def wait
#       sleep(0.1)
#     end
#
# It is **only for demonstration purposes** and shouldn't be used in a real code.
# Most of the time, #take is used to wait for ractors to finish.
#
# == Reference
