A thread-per-core Rust runtime with IOCP/io_uring.
The name comes from "completion-based IO".
This crate is inspired by [monoio](https://github.com/bytedance/monoio/).
## Why not Tokio?
Tokio is a great generic-propose async runtime.
However, it is poll-based, and even uses [undocumented APIs](https://notgull.github.io/device-afd/) on Windows.
We would like some new high-level APIs to perform IOCP/io_uring.
Unlike `tokio-uring`, this runtime isn't Tokio-based.
This is mainly because that no public APIs to control IOCP in `mio`,
and `tokio` won't public APIs to control `mio` before `mio` reaches 1.0.
## Quick start
With `runtime` feature enabled, we can use the high level APIs to perform fs & net IO.
```rust,no_run
use compio::{fs::File, task::block_on};
let buffer = block_on(async {
let file = File::open("Cargo.toml").unwrap();
let (read, buffer) = file.read_at(Vec::with_capacity(1024), 0).await;
let read = read.unwrap();
assert_eq!(read, buffer.len());
String::from_utf8(buffer).unwrap()
});
println!("{}", buffer);
```
While you can also control the low-level driver manually:
```rust,no_run
use compio::{
buf::IntoInner,
driver::{AsRawFd, Driver, Poller},
fs::File,
op::ReadAt,
};
let driver = Driver::new().unwrap();
let file = File::open("Cargo.toml").unwrap();
// Attach the `RawFd` to driver first.
driver.attach(file.as_raw_fd()).unwrap();
// Create operation and push it to the driver.
let mut op = ReadAt::new(file.as_raw_fd(), 0, Vec::with_capacity(4096));
unsafe { driver.push(&mut op, 0) }.unwrap();
// Poll the driver and wait for IO completed.
let entry = driver.poll_one(None).unwrap();
assert_eq!(entry.user_data(), 0);
// Resize the buffer by return value.
let n = entry.into_result().unwrap();
let mut buffer = op.into_inner().into_inner();
unsafe {
buffer.set_len(n);
}
println!("{}", String::from_utf8(buffer).unwrap());
```
