- * Document-class: Fiber::SchedulerInterface
- *
- * This is not an existing class, but documentation of the interface that Scheduler
- * object should comply to in order to be used as argument to Fiber.scheduler and handle non-blocking
- * fibers. See also the "Non-blocking fibers" section in Fiber class docs for explanations
- * of some concepts.
- *
- * Scheduler's behavior and usage are expected to be as follows:
- *
- * * When the execution in the non-blocking Fiber reaches some blocking operation (like
- * sleep, wait for a process, or a non-ready I/O), it calls some of the scheduler's
- * hook methods, listed below.
- * * Scheduler somehow registers what the current fiber is waiting on, and yields control
- * to other fibers with Fiber.yield (so the fiber would be suspended while expecting its
- * wait to end, and other fibers in the same thread can perform)
- * * At the end of the current thread execution, the scheduler's method #close is called
- * * The scheduler runs into a wait loop, checking all the blocked fibers (which it has
- * registered on hook calls) and resuming them when the awaited resource is ready
- * (e.g. I/O ready or sleep time elapsed).
- *
- * A typical implementation would probably rely for this closing loop on a gem like
- * EventMachine[https://github.com/eventmachine/eventmachine] or
- * Async[https://github.com/socketry/async].
- *
- * This way concurrent execution will be achieved transparently for every
- * individual Fiber's code.
- *
- * Hook methods are:
- *
- * * #io_wait, #io_read, and #io_write
- * * #process_wait
- * * #kernel_sleep
- * * #timeout_after
- * * #address_resolve
- * * #block and #unblock
- * * (the list is expanded as Ruby developers make more methods having non-blocking calls)
- *
- * When not specified otherwise, the hook implementations are mandatory: if they are not
- * implemented, the methods trying to call hook will fail. To provide backward compatibility,
- * in the future hooks will be optional (if they are not implemented, due to the scheduler
- * being created for the older Ruby version, the code which needs this hook will not fail,
- * and will just behave in a blocking fashion).
- *
- * It is also strongly recommended that the scheduler implements the #fiber method, which is
- * delegated to by Fiber.schedule.
- *
- * Sample _toy_ implementation of the scheduler can be found in Ruby's code, in
- * <tt>test/fiber/scheduler.rb</tt>
