//! Compatibility adapter between tokio and futures.
//!
//! There are two kinds of compatibility issues between [tokio] and [futures]:
//!
//! 1. Tokio's types cannot be used outside tokio context, so any attempt to use them will panic.
//!     - Solution: If you apply the [`Compat`] adapter to a future, the future will manually
//!       enter the context of a global tokio runtime. If a runtime is already available via tokio
//!       thread-locals, then it will be used. Otherwise, a new single-threaded runtime will be
//!       created on demand. That does *not* mean the future is polled by the tokio runtime - it
//!       only means the future sets a thread-local variable pointing to the global tokio runtime so
//!       that tokio's types can be used inside it.
//! 2. Tokio and futures have similar but different I/O traits `AsyncRead`, `AsyncWrite`,
//!    `AsyncBufRead`, and `AsyncSeek`.
//!     - Solution: When the [`Compat`] adapter is applied to an I/O type, it will implement traits
//!       of the opposite kind. That's how you can use tokio-based types wherever futures-based
//!       types are expected, and the other way around.
//!
//! You can apply the [`Compat`] adapter using the [`Compat::new()`] constructor or using any
//! method from the [`CompatExt`] trait.
//!
//! # The `multi-thread` feature
//!
//! Because the fallback runtime is single-threaded, a task *spawned* from inside a [`Compat`]
//! future runs on a current-thread scheduler, where `tokio::task::block_in_place` panics with
//! `can call blocking only when running on the multi-threaded runtime`. That call is how an
//! async wrapper around a synchronous library runs a blocking call without stalling the tasks
//! queued behind it, so a dependency written that way cannot be driven through [`Compat`]
//! unless a multi-threaded runtime is already ambient.
//!
//! Enabling the `multi-thread` feature backs the fallback runtime with a multi-threaded scheduler
//! instead, so spawned tasks run on real worker threads and `block_in_place` behaves as it would
//! in any other tokio program. The trade-off is that the runtime starts a worker pool (sized to
//! the available parallelism) rather than a single thread, so it is off by default.
//!
//! The feature affects the process-wide fallback runtime, and cargo features are additive, so
//! enabling it anywhere in a dependency graph enables it for every [`Compat`] user in that binary.
//! Nothing that works without the feature stops working with it - a multi-threaded scheduler is
//! strictly more permissive - but it is worth knowing that the choice is not local to one crate.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! This program reads lines from stdin and echoes them into stdout, except it's not going to work:
//!
//! ```compile_fail
//! fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
//!     futures::executor::block_on(async {
//!         let stdin = tokio::io::stdin();
//!         let mut stdout = tokio::io::stdout();
//!
//!         // The following line will not work for two reasons:
//!         // 1. Runtime error because stdin and stdout are used outside tokio context.
//!         // 2. Compilation error due to mismatched `AsyncRead` and `AsyncWrite` traits.
//!         futures::io::copy(stdin, &mut stdout).await?;
//!         Ok(())
//!     })
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! To get around the compatibility issues, apply the [`Compat`] adapter to `stdin`, `stdout`, and
//! [`futures::io::copy()`]:
//!
//! ```
//! use async_compat::CompatExt;
//!
//! fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
//!     futures::executor::block_on(async {
//!         let stdin = tokio::io::stdin();
//!         let mut stdout = tokio::io::stdout();
//!
//!         futures::io::copy(stdin.compat(), &mut stdout.compat_mut()).compat().await?;
//!         Ok(())
//!     })
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! It is also possible to apply [`Compat`] to the outer future passed to
//! [`futures::executor::block_on()`] rather than [`futures::io::copy()`] itself.
//! When applied to the outer future, individual inner futures don't need the adapter because
//! they're all now inside tokio context:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use async_compat::{Compat, CompatExt};
//!
//! fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
//!     futures::executor::block_on(Compat::new(async {
//!         let stdin = tokio::io::stdin();
//!         let mut stdout = tokio::io::stdout();
//!
//!         futures::io::copy(stdin.compat(), &mut stdout.compat_mut()).await?;
//!         Ok(())
//!     }))
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The compatibility adapter converts between tokio-based and futures-based I/O types in any
//! direction. Here's how we can write the same program by using futures-based I/O types inside
//! tokio:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use async_compat::CompatExt;
//! use blocking::Unblock;
//!
//! #[tokio::main]
//! async fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
//!     let mut stdin = Unblock::new(std::io::stdin());
//!     let mut stdout = Unblock::new(std::io::stdout());
//!
//!     tokio::io::copy(&mut stdin.compat_mut(), &mut stdout.compat_mut()).await?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Finally, we can use any tokio-based crate from any other async runtime.
//! Here are [reqwest] and [warp] as an example:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use async_compat::{Compat, CompatExt};
//! use warp::Filter;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     futures::executor::block_on(Compat::new(async {
//!         // Make an HTTP GET request.
//!         let response = reqwest::get("https://www.rust-lang.org").await.unwrap();
//!         println!("{}", response.text().await.unwrap());
//!
//!         // Start an HTTP server.
//!         let routes = warp::any().map(|| "Hello from warp!");
//!         warp::serve(routes).run(([127, 0, 0, 1], 8080)).await;
//!     }))
//! }
//! ```
