Module cosmic::iced_futures::futures::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.

Structs

• AtomicWaker
  A synchronization primitive for task wakeup.
• Context
  The context of an asynchronous task.
• 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>.
• RawWaker
  A RawWaker allows the implementor of a task executor to create a Waker or a LocalWaker which provides customized wakeup behavior.
• RawWakerVTable
  A virtual function pointer table (vtable) that specifies the behavior of a RawWaker.
• SpawnError
  An error that occurred during spawning.
• Waker
  A Waker is a handle for waking up a task by notifying its executor that it is ready to be run.
• WakerRef
  A Waker that is only valid for a given lifetime.

Enums

• Poll
  Indicates whether a value is available or if the current task has been scheduled to receive a wakeup instead.

Traits

• 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.

Functions

• 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>.
