Struct capnp_rpc::RpcSystem

#[must_use = "futures do nothing unless polled"]
pub struct RpcSystem<VatId> where
    VatId: 'static,  { /* fields omitted */ }

A portal to objects available on the network.

The RPC implemententation sits on top of an implementation of VatNetwork, which determines how to form connections between vats. The RPC implementation determines how to use such connections to manage object references and make method calls.

At the moment, this is all rather more general than it needs to be, because the only implementation of VatNetwork is twoparty::VatNetwork. However, eventually we will need to have more sophisticated VatNetwork implementations, in order to support level 3 features.

An RpcSystem is a Future and needs to be driven by a task executor. A common way accomplish that is to pass the RpcSystem to tokio_core::reactor::Handle::spawn().

Methods

impl<VatId> RpcSystem<VatId>

fn new(
    network: Box<VatNetwork<VatId>>,
    bootstrap: Option<Client>
) -> RpcSystem<VatId>

Constructs a new RpcSystem with the given network and bootstrap capability.

fn bootstrap<T>(&mut self, vat_id: VatId) -> T where
    T: FromClientHook, 

Connects to the given vat and returns its bootstrap interface.

fn get_disconnector(&self) -> Disconnector<VatId>

Returns a Disconnector future that can be run to cleanly close the connection to this RpcSystem's network. You should get the Disconnector before you spawn the RpcSystem.

Trait Implementations

impl<VatId> Future for RpcSystem<VatId> where
    VatId: 'static, 

type Item = ()

type Error = Error

The type of error that this future will resolve with if it fails in a normal fashion.

fn poll(&mut self) -> Poll<Self::Item, Self::Error>

Query this future to see if its value has become available, registering interest if it is not.

fn then<F, B>(self, f: F) -> Then<Self, B, F> where
    B: IntoFuture,
    F: FnOnce(Result<Self::Item, Self::Error>) -> B,

Execute another future if this one resolves with an error.

fn select<B>(self, other: B) -> Select<Self, <B as IntoFuture>::Future> where
    B: IntoFuture<Item = Self::Item, Error = Self::Error>, 

Waits for either one of two futures to complete.

fn select2<B>(self, other: B) -> Select2<Self, <B as IntoFuture>::Future> where
    B: IntoFuture, 

Waits for either one of two differently-typed futures to complete.

fn join<B>(self, other: B) -> Join<Self, <B as IntoFuture>::Future> where
    B: IntoFuture<Error = Self::Error>, 

Joins the result of two futures, waiting for them both to complete.

fn join3<B, C>(
    self,
    b: B,
    c: C
) -> Join3<Self, <B as IntoFuture>::Future, <C as IntoFuture>::Future> where
    B: IntoFuture<Error = Self::Error>,
    C: IntoFuture<Error = Self::Error>, 

Same as join, but with more futures.

fn join4<B, C, D>(
    self,
    b: B,

    <Self::Item as IntoFuture>::Error: From<Self::Error>,

fn flatten_stream(self) -> FlattenStream<Self> where
    Self::Item: Stream,
    <Self::Item as Stream>::Error == Self::Error, 

Flatten the execution of this future when the successful result of this future is a stream.

fn fuse(self) -> Fuse<Self>

Fuse a future such that poll will never again be called once it has completed.

fn inspect<F>(self, f: F) -> Inspect<Self, F> where
    F: FnOnce(&Self::Item) -> (),
