tokio 1.1.0

An event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform for writing asynchronous I/O backed applications.
Documentation
/// Pins a value on the stack.
///
/// Calls to `async fn` return anonymous [`Future`] values that are `!Unpin`.
/// These values must be pinned before they can be polled. Calling `.await` will
/// handle this, but consumes the future. If it is required to call `.await` on
/// a `&mut _` reference, the caller is responsible for pinning the future.
///
/// Pinning may be done by allocating with [`Box::pin`] or by using the stack
/// with the `pin!` macro.
///
/// The following will **fail to compile**:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// async fn my_async_fn() {
///     // async logic here
/// }
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
///     let mut future = my_async_fn();
///     (&mut future).await;
/// }
/// ```
///
/// To make this work requires pinning:
///
/// ```
/// use tokio::pin;
///
/// async fn my_async_fn() {
///     // async logic here
/// }
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
///     let future = my_async_fn();
///     pin!(future);
///
///     (&mut future).await;
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Pinning is useful when using `select!` and stream operators that require `T:
/// Stream + Unpin`.
///
/// [`Future`]: trait@std::future::Future
/// [`Box::pin`]: #
///
/// # Usage
///
/// The `pin!` macro takes **identifiers** as arguments. It does **not** work
/// with expressions.
///
/// The following does not compile as an expression is passed to `pin!`.
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// async fn my_async_fn() {
///     // async logic here
/// }
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
///     let mut future = pin!(my_async_fn());
///     (&mut future).await;
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Using with select:
///
/// ```
/// use tokio::{pin, select};
/// use tokio_stream::{self as stream, StreamExt};
///
/// async fn my_async_fn() {
///     // async logic here
/// }
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
///     let mut stream = stream::iter(vec![1, 2, 3, 4]);
///
///     let future = my_async_fn();
///     pin!(future);
///
///     loop {
///         select! {
///             _ = &mut future => {
///                 // Stop looping `future` will be polled after completion
///                 break;
///             }
///             Some(val) = stream.next() => {
///                 println!("got value = {}", val);
///             }
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Because assigning to a variable followed by pinning is common, there is also
/// a variant of the macro that supports doing both in one go.
///
/// ```
/// use tokio::{pin, select};
///
/// async fn my_async_fn() {
///     // async logic here
/// }
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
///     pin! {
///         let future1 = my_async_fn();
///         let future2 = my_async_fn();
///     }
///
///     select! {
///         _ = &mut future1 => {}
///         _ = &mut future2 => {}
///     }
/// }
/// ```
