Processes messages of type
A, one at a time. Messages are submitted to the actor with the method!. Processing is typically performed asynchronously, this is controlled by the providedstrategy.Memory consistency guarantee: when each message is processed by the
handler, any memory that it mutates is guaranteed to be visible by thehandlerwhen it processes the next message, even if thestrategyruns the invocations ofhandleron separate threads. This is achieved because theActorreads a volatile memory location before entering its event loop, and writes to the same location before suspending.Implementation based on non-intrusive MPSC node-based queue, described by Dmitriy Vyukov: http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/queues/non-intrusive-mpsc-node-based-queue
