Struct AbsurdFuture 

pub struct AbsurdFuture<F, T> { /* private fields */ }

Turn a never-returning future into a future yielding any desired type.

This struct is created by the absurd_future function.

Useful for async tasks that logically don’t complete but need to satisfy an interface expecting a concrete output type. Because the inner future never resolves, this future will also never resolve, so the output type T is never actually produced.

Implementations

impl<F, T> AbsurdFuture<F, T>

pub fn new(inner: F) -> Self

Creates a new AbsurdFuture that wraps the given future.

The inner future must have an output type of Infallible.

Trait Implementations

impl<F, T> Future for AbsurdFuture<F, T>

where F: Future<Output = Infallible>,

type Output = T

The type of value produced on completion.

fn poll(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output>

Attempts to resolve the future to a final value, registering the current task for wakeup if the value is not yet available.
