Expand description

Types that are bound to an Actor.

A marker trait to indicate the type is bound to an Actor. How the type is bound to the actor is different for each type. For most futures it means that if progress can be made (when the future is awoken) the actor will be run. This has the unfortunate consequence that those types can’t be moved away from the actor without (re)binding it first, otherwise the new actor will never be run and the actor that created the type will run instead.

Most types that are bound can only be created with a (mutable) reference to an actor::Context. Examples of this are TcpStream, UdpSocket and all futures in the timer module.

Associated Types

Error type used in bind_to.

Required methods

Bind a type to the Actor that owns the ctx.
