=item 2.

When a blocking OS syscall or library-level function needs to be called, and
no nonblocking or asynchronous version is supplied. This is used by
L<IO::Async::Resolver>.

=back

This object is ideal for representing "pure" functions; that is, blocks of
code which have no stateful effect on the process, and whose result depends
only on the arguments passed in. For a more general co-routine ability, see
also L<IO::Async::Routine>.

=cut

=head1 PARAMETERS

The following named parameters may be passed to C<new> or C<configure>:

=head2 code => CODE

The body of the function to execute.

 @result = $code->( @args )

=head2 init_code => CODE

Optional. If defined, this is invoked exactly once in every child process or
thread, after it is created, but before the first invocation of the function
body itself.

 $init_code->()

=head2 model => "fork" | "thread"

Optional. Requests a specific L<IO::Async::Routine> model. If not supplied,
leaves the default choice up to Routine.

=head2 min_workers => INT

=head2 max_workers => INT

The lower and upper bounds of worker processes to try to keep running. The
actual number running at any time will be kept somewhere between these bounds
according to load.

=head2 max_worker_calls => INT

Optional. If provided, stop a worker process after it has processed this
number of calls. (New workers may be started to replace stopped ones, within
the bounds given above).

=head2 idle_timeout => NUM

Optional. If provided, idle worker processes will be shut down after this
amount of time, if there are more than C<min_workers> of them.

=head2 exit_on_die => BOOL

Optional boolean, controls what happens after the C<code> throws an
exception. If missing or false, the worker will continue running to process
more requests. If true, the worker will be shut down. A new worker might be
constructed by the C<call> method to replace it, if necessary.

=head2 setup => ARRAY

Optional array reference. Specifies the C<setup> key to pass to the underlying
L<IO::Async::Process> when setting up new worker processes.

=head2 stop

   $function->stop

Stop the worker processes

=cut

   $self->{stopping} = 1;
   foreach my $worker ( $self->_worker_objects ) {
      $worker->stop;

   $function->restart

Gracefully stop and restart all the worker processes. 

=cut

sub restart

   $self->stop;
   $self->start;
}

=head2 call

   @result = $function->call( %params )->get

Schedules an invocation of the contained function to be executed on one of the
worker processes. If a non-busy worker is available now, it will be called
immediately. If not, it will be queued and sent to the next free worker that
becomes available.

The request will already have been serialised by the marshaller, so it will be
safe to modify any referenced data structures in the arguments after this call
returns.

The C<%params> hash takes the following keys:

=over 8

=item args => ARRAY

A reference to the array of arguments to pass to the code.

=back

If the function body returns normally the list of results are provided as the
(successful) result of returned future. If the function throws an exception
this results in a failed future. In the special case that the exception is in
fact an unblessed C<ARRAY> reference, this array is unpacked and used as-is
for the C<fail> result. If the exception is not such a reference, it is used
as the first argument to C<fail>, in the category of C<error>.

   $f->done( @result )

   $f->fail( @{ $exception } )
   $f->fail( $exception, error => )

=head2 call (void)

   $function->call( %params )

When not returning a future, the C<on_result>, C<on_return> and C<on_error>
arguments give continuations to handle successful results or failure.

=over 8

=item on_result => CODE

A continuation that is invoked when the code has been executed. If the code
returned normally, it is called as:

 $on_result->( 'return', @values )

If the code threw an exception, or some other error occured such as a closed
connection or the process died, it is called as:

 $on_result->( 'error', $exception_name )

=item on_return => CODE and on_error => CODE

An alternative to C<on_result>. Two continuations to use in either of the
circumstances given above. They will be called directly, without the leading
'return' or 'error' value.
