Send stuff to two places

Splits a data source sending it to two destinations. Forwards both things sent to its "inbox" inbox and "control" inboxes, so shutdown messages propogate through this splitter. Fully supports delivery to size limited inboxes.

Example Usage

Send from a data source to two destinations. Do this for both the inbox->outbox path and the signal->control paths, so both destinations receive shutdown messages when the data source finishes:

Graphline( SOURCE = MyDataSource(),
           SPLIT  = TwoWaySplitter(),
           DEST1  = MyDataSink1(),
           DEST2  = MyDataSink2(),
           linkages = {
               ("SOURCE", "outbox") : ("SPLIT", "inbox"),
               ("SOURCE", "signal") : ("SPLIT", "control")

               ("SPLIT", "outbox") : ("DEST1", "inbox"),
               ("SPLIT", "signal") : ("DEST1", "control"),

               ("SPLIT", "outbox2") : ("DEST1", "inbox"),
               ("SPLIT", "signal2") : ("DEST1", "control"),
           }
         ).run()

Behaviour

Send a message to the "inbox" inbox of this component and it will be sent on out of the "outbox" and "outbox2" outboxes.

This component supports sending to a size limited inbox. If the size limited inbox is full, this component will pause until it is able to send out the data.

Send a message to the "control" inbox of this component and it will be sent on out of the "signal" and "signal2" outboxes. If the message is a shutdownMicroprocess message then this component will also terminate immediately. If it is a producerFinished message then this component will finish sending any messages still waiting at its "inbox" inbox, then immediately terminate.
