Module future

Asynchronous values.

This module contains:

• The Future trait.
• The FutureExt and TryFutureExt trait, which provides adapters for chaining and composing futures.
• Top-level future combinators like lazy which creates a future from a closure that defines its return value, and ready, which constructs a future with an immediate defined value.

Re-exports

pub use core::future::Future;

Structs

AbortHandle

A handle to an Abortable task.

AbortRegistration

A registration handle for an Abortable task. Values of this type can be acquired from AbortHandle::new and are used in calls to Abortable::new.

Abortable

A future/stream which can be remotely short-circuited using an AbortHandle.

Aborted

Indicator that the Abortable task was aborted.

Future for the always_ready function.

AndThen

Future for the and_then method.

Future for the catch_unwind method.

Future for the err_into method.

Flatten

Future for the flatten method.

FlattenSink

Sink for the flatten_sink method.

FlattenStream

Stream for the flatten_stream method.

Fuse

Future for the fuse method.

FutureObj

A custom trait object for polling futures, roughly akin to Box<dyn Future<Output = T> + Send + 'a>.

JoinAll

Future for the join_all function.

Lazy

Future for the lazy function.

Map

Future for the map method.

MapErr

Future for the map_err method.

MapInto

Future for the map_into combinator.

Future for the or_else method.

Pending

Future for the pending() function.

PollFn

Future for the poll_fn function.

PollImmediate

Future for the poll_immediate function.

Ready

Future for the ready function.

Remote

A future which sends its output to the corresponding RemoteHandle. Created by remote_handle.

RemoteHandle

The handle to a remote future returned by remote_handle. When you drop this, the remote future will be woken up to be dropped by the executor.

Select

Future for the select() function.

SelectAll

Future for the select_all function.

SelectOk

Future for the select_ok function.

Shared

Future for the shared method.

Then

Future for the then method.

TryFlatten

Future for the try_flatten method.

Future for the try_join function.

TryJoin3

Future for the try_join3 function.

TryJoin4

Future for the try_join4 function.

TryJoin5

Future for the try_join5 function.

TryJoinAll

Future for the try_join_all function.

TrySelect

Future for the try_select() function.

UnitError

Future for the unit_error combinator.

UnwrapOrElse

Future for the unwrap_or_else method.

WeakShared

A weak reference to a Shared that can be upgraded much like an Arc.

Enums

Either

Combines two different futures, streams, or sinks having the same associated types into a single type.

MaybeDone

A future that may have completed.

TryMaybeDone

A future that may have completed with an error.

Traits

FusedFuture

A future which tracks whether or not the underlying future should no longer be polled.

FutureExt

An extension trait for Futures that provides a variety of convenient adapters.

TryFuture

A convenience for futures that return Result values that includes a variety of adapters tailored to such futures.

TryFutureExt

Adapters specific to Result-returning futures

UnsafeFutureObj

A custom implementation of a future trait object for FutureObj, providing a vtable with drop support.

Functions

abortable

Creates a new Abortable future and an AbortHandle which can be used to stop it.

always_ready

Creates a future that is always immediately ready with a value.

err

Create a future that is immediately ready with an error value.

join

Joins the result of two futures, waiting for them both to complete.

join3

Same as join, but with more futures.

join4

Same as join, but with more futures.

join5

Same as join, but with more futures.

join_all

Creates a future which represents a collection of the outputs of the futures given.

lazy

Creates a new future that allows delayed execution of a closure.

maybe_done

Wraps a future into a MaybeDone

ok

Create a future that is immediately ready with a success value.

pending

Creates a future which never resolves, representing a computation that never finishes.

poll_fn

Creates a new future wrapping around a function returning Poll.

poll_immediate

Creates a future that is immediately ready with an Option of a value. Specifically this means that poll always returns Poll::Ready.

ready

Creates a future that is immediately ready with a value.

select

Waits for either one of two differently-typed futures to complete.

select_all

Creates a new future which will select over a list of futures.

select_ok

Creates a new future which will select the first successful future over a list of futures.

try_join

Joins the result of two futures, waiting for them both to complete or for one to produce an error.

try_join3

Same as try_join, but with more futures.

try_join4

Same as try_join, but with more futures.

try_join5

Same as try_join, but with more futures.

try_join_all

Creates a future which represents either a collection of the results of the futures given or an error.

try_maybe_done

Wraps a future into a TryMaybeDone

try_select

Waits for either one of two differently-typed futures to complete.

Type Aliases

BoxFuture

An owned dynamically typed Future for use in cases where you can’t statically type your result or need to add some indirection.

LocalBoxFuture

BoxFuture, but without the Send requirement.
