ActorDispatcher.MustYield Method

MustYield(Int32)

Determines whether the ProcessQueue() method should interrupt the processing of the message queue before the queue is empty.

Declaration
protected virtual bool MustYield(int count)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Int32 count

Number of messages already processed by the current invocation of the ProcessQueue() method.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean

true if the ProcessQueue() method should stop processing messages, false if it should continue.

Remarks

When this method returns true, the ProcessQueue() method will immediately invoke the ScheduleProcessQueue() method to process remaining messages.

The purpose of this method is to allow custom implementations of the ActorDispatcher class, which may dispatch the message queue execution on a pool composed of a small numbers of threads, to prevent a few actors to consume all available threads.
