Module futures_util::task[][src]

Expand description

Tools for working with tasks.

This module contains:

  • Spawn, a trait for spawning new tasks.
  • Context, a context of an asynchronous task, including a handle for waking up the task.
  • Waker, a handle for waking up a task.

The remaining types and traits in the module are used for implementing executors or dealing with synchronization issues around task wakeup.

Re-exports

pub use core::task::Poll;
pub use core::task::RawWaker;
pub use core::task::RawWakerVTable;
pub use core::task::Waker;

Structs

A synchronization primitive for task wakeup.

A custom trait object for polling futures, roughly akin to Box<dyn Future<Output = T> + Send + 'a>.

A custom trait object for polling futures, roughly akin to Box<dyn Future<Output = T> + 'a>.

An error that occurred during spawning.

A Waker that is only valid for a given lifetime.

Traits

A way of waking up a specific task.

The LocalSpawn is similar to Spawn, but allows spawning futures that don’t implement Send.

Extension trait for LocalSpawn.

The Spawn trait allows for pushing futures onto an executor that will run them to completion.

Extension trait for Spawn.

A custom implementation of a future trait object for FutureObj, providing a vtable with drop support.

Functions
