Module linera_base::task

Abstractions over tasks that can be used natively or on the Web.

Structs

• Blocking
  A new task running in a different thread.
• SendError
  The type of errors that can result from sending a message to the spawned task. Error returned by the Sender.

Traits

• Post
  Types that can be explicitly sent to a new thread. This differs from Send in that we can provide an explicit post step (e.g. postMessage on the Web).

Functions

• spawn
  Spawns a new task, potentially on the current thread.

Type Aliases

• BlockingFuture
  The type of a future awaiting another thread.
• InputReceiver
  The stream of inputs available to the spawned task.
• NoInput
  A type that satisfies the send/receive bounds, but can never be sent or received.
• NonBlockingFuture
  The type of a future awaiting another task.
