23/// The implementation of waking a task on an executor.
24///
25/// This is an equivalent to [`std::task::Wake`], but using [`portable_atomic_util::Arc`](crate::Arc)
26/// as a reference-counted pointer. See the documentation for [`std::task::Wake`] for more details.
27///
28/// **Note:** Unlike `std::task::Wake`, all methods take `this:` instead of `self:`.
29/// This is because using `portable_atomic_util::Arc` as a receiver requires the
30/// [unstable `arbitrary_self_types` feature](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44874).
31///
32/// # Examples
33///
34/// A basic `block_on` function that takes a future and runs it to completion on
35/// the current thread.
36///
37/// **Note:** This example trades correctness for simplicity. In order to prevent
38/// deadlocks, production-grade implementations will also need to handle
39/// intermediate calls to `thread::unpark` as well as nested invocations.
40///
41/// ```
42/// use std::{
43///     future::Future,
44///     task::{Context, Poll},
45///     thread::{self, Thread},
46/// };
47///
48/// use portable_atomic_util::{Arc, task::Wake};
49///
50/// /// A waker that wakes up the current thread when called.
51/// struct ThreadWaker(Thread);
52///
53/// impl Wake for ThreadWaker {
54///     fn wake(this: Arc<Self>) {
55///         this.0.unpark();
56///     }
57/// }
58///
59/// /// Run a future to completion on the current thread.
60/// fn block_on<T>(fut: impl Future<Output = T>) -> T {
61///     // Pin the future so it can be polled.
62///     let mut fut = Box::pin(fut);
63///
64///     // Create a new context to be passed to the future.
65///     let t = thread::current();
66///     let waker = Arc::new(ThreadWaker(t)).into();
67///     let mut cx = Context::from_waker(&waker);
68///
69///     // Run the future to completion.
70///     loop {
71///         match fut.as_mut().poll(&mut cx) {
72///             Poll::Ready(res) => return res,
73///             Poll::Pending => thread::park(),
74///         }
75///     }
