Yet another WaitGroup implementation.
None of the existing crates fit my needs exactly, so here’s one more that (hopefully) will.
Highlights:
- Generalizes “tasks” to Refs. More of a change in nomenclature than anything else. It’s not always a group of tasks you’re waiting on - it could be that you’re waiting on a gaggle of structs to all be dropped.
- Refs and Waiters are entirely disjoint. You don’t need a Waiter to create a new Ref.
- Everything is cloneable and behaves as one would expect - cloned Refs will all block every cloned Waiter, which can be awaited concurrently.
Structs§
- Ref
- A reference whose drop can be awaited
- Wait
Future - The future returned from Waiter::wait
- Waiter
- An awaitable handle to some number of references that will eventually be dropped
- Weak
- A reference whose drop can be awaited
