//! # FFI-compatible futures
//!
//! [`FfiFuture<T>`] provides the same function as `Box<dyn Future<Output = T>>` but FFI-compatible.
//! Any future implementing `Send` can be converted to [`FfiFuture<T>`] by calling [`into_ffi`] on it.
//!
//! [`FfiFuture<T>`] also implements `Future<Output = T>`. You can simply `await` a [`FfiFuture<T>`]
//! like a normal `Future` to get the output.
//!
//! In case of an async program with some async plugins, `Future`s need to cross the FFI boundary.
//! But Rust currently doesn't provide stable ABI nor stable layout of related structs like
//! `dyn Future` and `Waker`.
//! With this crate, we can easily wrap async blocks or async functions to make this happen.
//!
//! Provide some async functions in library: (plugin side)
//! ```
//! # async fn do_some_io(_: u32) -> u32 { 0 }
//! # async fn do_some_sleep(_: u32) {}
//! // Compile with `crate-type = ["cdylib"]`.
//! use async_ffi::{FfiFuture, FutureExt};
//!
//! #[no_mangle]
//! pub extern "C" fn work(arg: u32) -> FfiFuture<u32> {
//!     async move {
//!         let ret = do_some_io(arg).await;
//!         do_some_sleep(42).await;
//!         ret
//!     }
//!     .into_ffi()
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Execute async functions from external library: (host or executor side)
//! ```
//! use async_ffi::{FfiFuture, FutureExt};
//!
//! // #[link(name = "myplugin...")]
//! extern "C" {
//!     #[no_mangle]
//!     fn work(arg: u32) -> FfiFuture<u32>;
//! }
//!
//! async fn run_work(arg: u32) -> u32 {
//!     unsafe { work(arg).await }
//! }
//! ```
