send method

void send (dynamic message)

Sends an asynchronous message through this send port, to its corresponding ReceivePort.

The content of message can be: primitive values (null, num, bool, double, String), instances of SendPort, and lists and maps whose elements are any of these. List and maps are also allowed to be cyclic.

In the special circumstances when two isolates share the same code and are running in the same process (e.g. isolates created via Isolate.spawn), it is also possible to send object instances (which would be copied in the process). This is currently only supported by the dartvm. For now, the dart2js compiler only supports the restricted messages described above.

The send happens immediately and doesn't block. The corresponding receive port can receive the message as soon as its isolate's event loop is ready to deliver it, independently of what the sending isolate is doing.

Implementation

void send(var message);
