.SH NAME
Test2::API::Instance \- Object used by Test2::API under the hood
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This object encapsulates the global shared state tracked by
Test2. A single global instance of this package is stored (and
obscured) by the Test2::API package.
.PP
There is no reason to directly use this package. This package is documented for
completeness. This package can change, or go away completely at any time.
Directly using, or monkeypatching this package is not supported in any way
shape or form.

.el .IP \f(CW$obj\fR\->\fBset_exit()\fR 4
.IX Item "$obj->set_exit()"
This is intended to be called in an \f(CW\*(C`END { ... }\*(C'\fR block. This will look at
test state and set $?. This will also call any end callbacks, and wait on child
processes/threads.
.ie n .IP $obj\->set_ipc_pending($val) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$obj\fR\->set_ipc_pending($val) 4
.IX Item "$obj->set_ipc_pending($val)"

.el .IP \f(CW$obj\fR\->add_ipc_driver($DRIVER_CLASS) 4
.IX Item "$obj->add_ipc_driver($DRIVER_CLASS)"
Add an IPC driver to the list. The most recently added IPC driver will become
the global one during initialization. If a driver is added after initialization
has occurred a warning will be generated:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    "IPC driver $driver loaded too late to be used as the global ipc driver"
.Ve
.ie n .IP "$bool = $obj\->ipc_polling" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = \f(CW$obj\fR\->ipc_polling" 4

.ie n .IP $obj\->enable_ipc_polling 4

.IX Item "$obj->disable_ipc_polling"

.ie n .IP "$arrayref = $obj\->exit_callbacks" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$arrayref\fR = \f(CW$obj\fR\->exit_callbacks" 4
.IX Item "$arrayref = $obj->exit_callbacks"

.ie n .IP "$bool = $obj\->finalized" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = \f(CW$obj\fR\->finalized" 4
.IX Item "$bool = $obj->finalized"
Check if the object is finalized. Finalization happens when either \f(CWipc()\fR,
\&\f(CWstack()\fR, or \f(CWformat()\fR are called on the object. Once finalization happens
these fields are considered unchangeable (not enforced here, enforced by
Test2).
.ie n .IP "$ipc = $obj\->ipc" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$ipc\fR = \f(CW$obj\fR\->ipc" 4

Get the one true hub stack.
.ie n .IP "$formatter = $obj\->formatter" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$formatter\fR = \f(CW$obj\fR\->formatter" 4
.IX Item "$formatter = $obj->formatter"
Get the global formatter. By default this is the \f(CW\*(AqTest2::Formatter::TAP\*(Aq\fR
package. This could be any package that implements the \f(CWwrite()\fR method. This
can also be an instantiated object.
.ie n .IP "$bool = $obj\->\fBformatter_set()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = \f(CW$obj\fR\->\fBformatter_set()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$bool = $obj->formatter_set()"

.IX Item "$obj->add_formatter($class)"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP $obj\->add_formatter($obj) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$obj\fR\->add_formatter($obj) 4
.IX Item "$obj->add_formatter($obj)"
.PD
Add a formatter. The most recently added formatter will become the global one
during initialization. If a formatter is added after initialization has occurred
a warning will be generated:
.Sp

.ie n .IP "$obj\->set_add_uuid_via(sub { ... })" 4

.el .IP "\f(CW$sub\fR = \f(CW$obj\fR\->\fBadd_uuid_via()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$sub = $obj->add_uuid_via()"
.PD
This allows you to provide a UUID generator. If provided UUIDs will be attached
to all events, hubs, and contexts. This is useful for storing, tracking, and
linking these objects.
.Sp
The sub you provide should always return a unique identifier. Most things will
expect a proper UUID string, however nothing in Test2::API enforces this.
.Sp
The sub will receive exactly 1 argument, the type of thing being tagged
\&'context', 'hub', or 'event'. In the future additional things may be tagged, in
which case new strings will be passed in. These are purely informative, you can
(and usually should) ignore them.
