nexus-async-rt 0.7.0

Experimental single-threaded async executor (reference implementation; tokio is the supported path for production use)
Documentation
//! Build-time validation of `Waker` and `Context` layout.
//!
//! `ReusableWaker` constructs a `Waker` and `Context` from raw pointer
//! arrays, relying on specific field ordering. Neither type is `repr(C)`
//! — the layout is a compiler convention, not a language guarantee.
//!
//! This build script validates the layout at compile time. If rustc ever
//! changes the field order, the build fails with a clear error message
//! rather than producing silent UB at runtime.
//!
//! Note: build scripts run on the host, not the target. For cross-compilation,
//! the runtime layout tests in `waker.rs::tests` provide target-side validation.
//! In practice, `Waker`/`Context` layout is a compiler convention (not
//! target-dependent), so host validation is sufficient.
