Functions

func AcquireTimer

func AcquireTimer(timeout time.Duration) *time.Timer

AcquireTimer returns a time.Timer from the pool and updates it to send the current time on its channel after at least timeout.

The returned Timer may be returned to the pool with ReleaseTimer when no longer needed. This allows reducing GC load.

func InitTimer

func InitTimer(t *time.Timer, timeout time.Duration) *time.Timer

func ReleaseTimer

func ReleaseTimer(t *time.Timer)

ReleaseTimer returns the time.Timer acquired via AcquireTimer to the pool and prevents the Timer from firing.

Do not access the released time.Timer or read from it's channel otherwise data races may occur.

func StopTimer

func StopTimer(t *time.Timer)
