Type Definition dbcrossbarlib::tokio_glue::BoxFuture
source · pub type BoxFuture<T, E = Error> = BoxFuture<'static, Result<T, E>>;
Expand description
Standard future type for this library. Like Result
, but used by async. We
mark it as Send
to ensure it can be sent between threads safely (even when
blocked on .await
!), and we Pin<Box<...>>
it using .boxed()
to make it
an abstract, heap-based type, for convenience. All we know is that it will
return a Result<T>
.
