Extension trait for Spawn.

Provided methods

Spawns a task that polls the given future with output () to completion.

This method returns a Result that contains a SpawnError if spawning fails.

You can use spawn_with_handle if you want to spawn a future with output other than () or if you want to be able to await its completion.

Note this method will eventually be replaced with the upcoming Spawn::spawn method which will take a dyn Future as input. Technical limitations prevent Spawn::spawn from being implemented today. Feel free to use this method in the meantime.

#![feature(async_await, await_macro)]
use futures::executor::ThreadPool;
use futures::task::SpawnExt;

let mut executor = ThreadPool::new().unwrap();

let future = async { /* ... */ };
executor.spawn(future).unwrap();

Spawns a task that polls the given future to completion and returns a future that resolves to the spawned future's output.

This method returns a Result that contains a RemoteHandle, or, if spawning fails, a SpawnError. RemoteHandle is a future that resolves to the output of the spawned future.

#![feature(async_await, await_macro)]
use futures::executor::ThreadPool;
use futures::future;
use futures::task::SpawnExt;

let mut executor = ThreadPool::new().unwrap();

let future = future::ready(1);
let join_handle_fut = executor.spawn_with_handle(future).unwrap();
assert_eq!(executor.run(join_handle_fut), 1);

Wraps a Spawn and makes it usable as a futures 0.1 Executor. Requires the compat feature to enable.
