A task executor.

A task is a ()-producing async value that runs at the top level, and will be polled until completion. It's also the unit at which wake-up notifications occur. Executors, such as thread pools, allow tasks to be spawned and are responsible for putting tasks onto ready queues when they are woken up, and polling them when they are ready.

Required Methods

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (futures_api)

futures in libcore are unstable

Spawn the given task, polling it until completion.

Errors

The executor may be unable to spawn tasks, either because it has been shut down or is resource-constrained.

Provided Methods

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (futures_api)

futures in libcore are unstable

Determine whether the executor is able to spawn new tasks.

Returns

An Ok return means the executor is likely (but not guaranteed) to accept a subsequent spawn attempt. Likewise, an Err return means that spawn is likely, but not guaranteed, to yield an error.
