//! Asynchronous values. //! //! ## Base Futures Concurrency //! //! Often it's desireable to await multiple futures as if it was a single //! future. The `join` family of operations converts multiple futures into a //! single future that returns all of their outputs. The `select` family of //! operations converts multiple future into a single future that returns the //! first output. //! //! For operating on futures the following macros can be used: //! //! | Name | Return signature | When does it return? | //! | --- | --- | --- | //! | `future::join` | `(T1, T2)` | Wait for all to complete //! | `future::select` | `T` | Return on first value //! //! ## Fallible Futures Concurrency //! //! For operating on futures that return `Result` additional `try_` variants of //! the macros mentioned before can be used. These macros are aware of `Result`, //! and will behave slightly differently from their base variants. //! //! In the case of `try_join`, if any of the futures returns `Err` all //! futures are dropped and an error is returned. This is referred to as //! "short-circuiting". //! //! In the case of `try_select`, instead of returning the first future that //! completes it returns the first future that _successfully_ completes. This //! means `try_select` will keep going until any one of the futures returns //! `Ok`, or _all_ futures have returned `Err`. //! //! However sometimes it can be useful to use the base variants of the macros //! even on futures that return `Result`. Here is an overview of operations that //! work on `Result`, and their respective semantics: //! //! | Name | Return signature | When does it return? | //! | --- | --- | --- | //! | `future::join` | `(Result, Result)` | Wait for all to complete //! | `future::try_join` | `Result<(T1, T2), E>` | Return on first `Err`, wait for all to complete //! | `future::select` | `Result` | Return on first value //! | `future::try_select` | `Result` | Return on first `Ok`, reject on last Err #[doc(inline)] pub use std::future::Future; #[doc(inline)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "docs", doc(cfg(unstable)))] pub use async_macros::{join, select, try_join, try_select}; use cfg_if::cfg_if; pub use pending::pending; pub use poll_fn::poll_fn; pub use ready::ready; mod pending; mod poll_fn; mod ready; cfg_if! { if #[cfg(any(feature = "unstable", feature = "docs"))] { mod timeout; pub use timeout::{timeout, TimeoutError}; } }
