futures-cputask 0.3.0

# futures-cputask

This library allows you to run long-running CPU-bound tasks on a secondary thread pool and receive a future you can await on.

## Features

- Uses Futures 0.3.0
- For Async/Await
- Runs tasks on a secondary threadpool to avoid blocking one of the main executor threads
- Supports the threadpool from `threadpool` and `uvth` using their respective cargo feature
- Has traits for allowing interoperability with other threadpool implementations
- Contains an optional custom attribute `async_task` to turn a regular function into an async function using this crate

  (Note: currently this feature only works with the `threadpool` and `uvth` threadpools)

## Usage

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
futures-cputask = "0.3.0"
```

if you want to use the custom attribute, add this:

```toml
[dependencies.futures-cputask]
version = "0.3.0"
features = ["derive"]
```

## Example
```rust
use futures_cputask::async_task;

#[async_task]
fn long_running_task() -> i64 {
    (0..100_000_000).fold(0i64, |a, b| a.wrapping_add(b))
}
```
