PHP 8.3.4 Released!

The Threaded class

(PECL pthreads >= 2.0.0)

Introduction

Threaded objects form the basis of pthreads ability to execute user code in parallel; they expose synchronization methods and various useful interfaces.

Threaded objects, most importantly, provide implicit safety for the programmer; all operations on the object scope are safe.

/* Methods */
public chunk(int $size, bool $preserve): array

However, this comes with a trade-off: Operations on the instance scope are slower than on plain PHP objects.

Static properties are not affected as they are thread-local.

It's worth mentioning here that, since v2.0.0, 'Stackable' class was an alias for 'Threaded' class but has been removed since.
