README

        
**WARNING**: This package is end-of-life, has several long-standing bugs, and

is not receiving any more fixes. Additionally, the design has several problems

and no longer really makes sense given Go's addition of generic types.

It was still an interesting project, and might provide inspiration for tricks

you can do with channels, but caveat emptor.

[![Code of Conduct](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20of%20conduct-active-blue.svg)](https://eapache.github.io/conduct.html)

A collection of helper functions and special types for working with and

extending [Go](https://golang.org/)'s existing channels. Due to limitations

of Go's type system, importing this library directly is often not practical for

production code. It serves equally well, however, as a reference guide and

template for implementing many common idioms; if you use it in this way I would

appreciate the inclusion of some sort of credit in the resulting code.

See https://godoc.org/github.com/eapache/channels for full documentation or

https://gopkg.in/eapache/channels.v1 for a versioned import path.

Requires Go version 1.1 or later, as certain necessary elements of the `reflect`

package were not present in 1.0.

Most of the buffered channel types in this package are backed by a very fast

queue implementation that used to be built into this package but has now been

extracted into its own package at https://github.com/eapache/queue.

*Note:* Several types in this package provide so-called "infinite" buffers. Be

very careful using these, as no buffer is truly infinite. If such a buffer

grows too large your program will run out of memory and crash. Caveat emptor.
