[−][src]Module futures_util::task

Tools for working with tasks.

This module contains:

Spawn, a trait for spawning new tasks.
Context, a context of an asynchronous task, including a handle for waking up the task.
Waker, a handle for waking up a task.

The remaining types and traits in the module are used for implementing executors or dealing with synchronization issues around task wakeup.

AtomicWaker	A synchronization primitive for task wakeup.
FutureObj	A custom trait object for polling futures, roughly akin to `Box<dyn Future<Output = T> + Send + 'a>`.
LocalFutureObj	A custom trait object for polling futures, roughly akin to `Box<dyn Future<Output = T> + 'a>`.
SpawnError	An error that occurred during spawning.
WakerRef	A `Waker` that is only valid for a given lifetime.

ArcWake	A way of waking up a specific task.
LocalSpawn	The `LocalSpawn` is similar to `Spawn`, but allows spawning futures that don't implement `Send`.
LocalSpawnExt	Extension trait for `LocalSpawn`.
Spawn	The `Spawn` trait allows for pushing futures onto an executor that will run them to completion.
SpawnExt	Extension trait for `Spawn`.
UnsafeFutureObj	A custom implementation of a future trait object for `FutureObj`, providing a vtable with drop support.

noop_waker	Create a new `Waker` which does nothing when `wake()` is called on it.
noop_waker_ref	Get a static reference to a `Waker` which does nothing when `wake()` is called on it.
waker	Creates a `Waker` from an `Arc<impl ArcWake>`.
waker_ref	Creates a reference to a `Waker` from a reference to `Arc<impl ArcWake>`.
