//! Abstractions for asynchronous programming.
//!
//! This crate provides a number of core abstractions for writing asynchronous
//! code:
//!
//! - [Futures](crate::future) are single eventual values produced by
//!   asynchronous computations. Some programming languages (e.g. JavaScript)
//!   call this concept "promise".
//! - [Streams](crate::stream) represent a series of values
//!   produced asynchronously.
//! - [Sinks](crate::sink) provide support for asynchronous writing of
//!   data.
//! - [Executors](crate::executor) are responsible for running asynchronous
//!   tasks.
//!
//! The crate also contains abstractions for [asynchronous I/O](crate::io) and
//! [cross-task communication](crate::channel).
//!
//! Underlying all of this is the *task system*, which is a form of lightweight
//! threading. Large asynchronous computations are built up using futures,
//! streams and sinks, and then spawned as independent tasks that are run to
//! completion, but *do not block* the thread running them.
//!
//! The following example describes how the task system context is built and used
//! within macros and keywords such as async and await!.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # if cfg!(miri) { return; } // https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/1038
//! # use futures::channel::mpsc;
//! # use futures::executor; ///standard executors to provide a context for futures and streams
//! # use futures::executor::ThreadPool;
//! # use futures::StreamExt;
//! #
//! fn main() {
//!     let pool = ThreadPool::new().expect("Failed to build pool");
//!     let (tx, rx) = mpsc::unbounded::<i32>();
//!
//!     // Create a future by an async block, where async is responsible for an
//!     // implementation of Future. At this point no executor has been provided
//!     // to this future, so it will not be running.
//!     let fut_values = async {
//!         // Create another async block, again where the Future implementation
//!         // is generated by async. Since this is inside of a parent async block,
//!         // it will be provided with the executor of the parent block when the parent
//!         // block is executed.
//!         //
//!         // This executor chaining is done by Future::poll whose second argument
//!         // is a std::task::Context. This represents our executor, and the Future
//!         // implemented by this async block can be polled using the parent async
//!         // block's executor.
//!         let fut_tx_result = async move {
//!             (0..100).for_each(|v| {
//!                 tx.unbounded_send(v).expect("Failed to send");
//!             })
//!         };
//!
//!         // Use the provided thread pool to spawn the generated future
//!         // responsible for transmission
//!         pool.spawn_ok(fut_tx_result);
//!
//!         let fut_values = rx
//!             .map(|v| v * 2)
//!             .collect();
//!
//!         // Use the executor provided to this async block to wait for the
//!         // future to complete.
//!         fut_values.await
//!     };
//!
//!     // Actually execute the above future, which will invoke Future::poll and
//!     // subsequently chain appropriate Future::poll and methods needing executors
//!     // to drive all futures. Eventually fut_values will be driven to completion.
//!     let values: Vec<i32> = executor::block_on(fut_values);
//!
//!     println!("Values={:?}", values);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The majority of examples and code snippets in this crate assume that they are
//! inside an async block as written above.

    //!
    //! All asynchronous computation occurs within an executor, which is
    //! capable of spawning futures as tasks. This module provides several
    //! built-in executors, as well as tools for building your own.
    //!
    //!
    //! This module is only available when the `executor` feature of this
    //! library is activated.
    //!
    //! # Using a thread pool (M:N task scheduling)
    //!
    //! Most of the time tasks should be executed on a [thread pool](ThreadPool).
    //! A small set of worker threads can handle a very large set of spawned tasks
    //! (which are much lighter weight than threads). Tasks spawned onto the pool
    //! with the [`spawn_ok`](ThreadPool::spawn_ok) function will run ambiently on
    //! the created threads.
    //!
    //! # Spawning additional tasks
    //!
    //! Tasks can be spawned onto a spawner by calling its [`spawn_obj`] method
    //! directly. In the case of `!Send` futures, [`spawn_local_obj`] can be used
    //! instead.
    //!
    //! # Single-threaded execution
    //!
    //! In addition to thread pools, it's possible to run a task (and the tasks
    //! it spawns) entirely within a single thread via the [`LocalPool`] executor.
    //! Aside from cutting down on synchronization costs, this executor also makes
    //! it possible to spawn non-`Send` tasks, via [`spawn_local_obj`]. The
    //! [`LocalPool`] is best suited for running I/O-bound tasks that do relatively
    //! little work between I/O operations.
    //!
    //! There is also a convenience function [`block_on`] for simply running a
    //! future to completion on the current thread.
    //!
