## Overview

The execution context of a Proc execution.

When Vert.x provides an event to a handler or calls the start or stop methods of a Nil, the execution is associated with a `Context`.

Usually a context is an *event-loop context* and is tied to a specific event loop thread. So executions for that context always occur on that exact same event loop thread.

In the case of worker verticles and running inline blocking code a worker context will be associated with the execution which will use a thread from the worker thread pool.

When a handler is set by a thread associated with a specific context, the Vert.x will guarantee that when that handler is executed, that execution will be associated with the same context.

If a handler is set by a thread not associated with a context (i.e. a non Vert.x thread). Then a new context will be created for that handler.

In other words, a context is propagated.

This means that when a verticle is deployed, any handlers it sets will be associated with the same context - the context of the verticle.

This means (in the case of a standard verticle) that the verticle code will always be executed with the exact same thread, so you don't have to worry about multi-threaded acccess to the verticle state and you can code your application as single threaded.

This class also allows arbitrary data to be #put and #get on the context so it can be shared easily amongst different handlers of, for example, a verticle instance.

This class also provides #run_on_context which allows an action to be executed asynchronously using the same context.

    end

### - (`void`) execute_blocking(blockingCodeHandler = nil, ordered = nil) { ... }

This method returns an undefined value.

Safely execute some blocking code.

Executes the blocking code in the handler `blockingCodeHandler` using a thread from the worker pool.

When the code is complete the handler `resultHandler` will be called with the result on the original context (e.g. on the original event loop of the caller).

A `Future` instance is passed into `blockingCodeHandler`. When the blocking code successfully completes, the handler should call the Promise#complete or Promise#complete method, or the Promise#fail method if it failed.

The blocking code should block for a reasonable amount of time (i.e no more than a few seconds). Long blocking operations or polling operations (i.e a thread that spin in a loop polling events in a blocking fashion) are precluded.

When the blocking operation lasts more than the 10 seconds, a message will be printed on the console by the blocked thread checker.

Long blocking operations should use a dedicated thread managed by the application, which can interact with verticles using the event-bus or #run_on_context

Parameters:

- blockingCodeHandler (`Proc`) (defaults to: `nil`) —
  handler representing the blocking code to run
- ordered (`true`, `false`) (defaults to: `nil`) —
  if true then if executeBlocking is called several times on the same context, the executions for that context will be executed serially, not in parallel. if false then they will be no ordering guarantees

Yields:

- handler that will be called when the blocking code is complete

Raises:

- (`ArgumentError`)
