In general it's easier to implement and should have more predictable performance
semantics for applications in general. More serious timer usage can go through
`tokio-timer` which has properly configurable timer wheels and such.
Closes#2Closes#7
* Handle -> Remote
* Pinned -> Handle
All APIs now take a `&Handle` by default and in general can return an immediate
`io::Result` instead of an `IoFuture`. This reflects how most usage will likely
be done through handles rather than remotes, and also all previous functionality
can be recovered with a `oneshot` plus `Remote::spawn`.
Closes#15
* Remove `LoopData` as it's no longer necessary
* Add `LoopHandle::spawn` to spawn new futures onto an event loop
* Add `LoopData::spawn` to also spawn new futures onto an event loop
* Rejigger the implementation of the event loop a bit (make a slab of futures),
but otherwise everything else is pretty constant.
Split it up into a number of targeted modules for each purpose, for example loop
data, I/O sources, timeouts, and channels. No actual change is intended to be
part of this commit.
This commit contains a few refactorings, but the major goal is to remove the
`Arc` that's stored inside of each `ReadinessStream` and `Scheduled` slot in the
event loop. The original purpose of this `Arc` was to share the I/O object among
the concrete handle itself and the event loop. The event loop would then change
how the socket is registered over time and then deregister it when it gets a
"shutdown request".
Nowadays, however, once an I/O object is registered with the event loop it's
never updated. Additionally, we don't actually need to call `deregister` but can
rather just instead close the I/O object itself and let the kernel/event loop
take care of the cleanup. All we need to do on deregistering is free up the slab
entry.
The major result of this commit is that I/O objects no longer need to be `Sync`
(as they're not stored in an `Arc`). Instead they just need to be `Send +
'static` as one might otherwise expect.
Along the way this also refactors a few pieces here and there to make more sense
in this new scheme. The `ReadinessStream` type now has a type parameter
indicating an owned reference to the I/O object it wraps. This can be accessed
via the `get_ref` and `get_mut` methods. Additionally I/O tokens on the event
loop are now a full-fledged `IoToken` type which we can change in the future if
we need to.
We know that the future will never persist beyond this stack frame, so we can
just leave its ownership on the stack frame itself and receive notifications off
the event loop that we need to poll it.
The core trait and associated types no longer require the `'static` bounds, and
all associated methods have also had the `'static` bounds removed. The only
location for the `'static` bound is `forget`.
While the restriction of `'static` on `forget` is here to stay, we'll soon
enable `Loop::run` to take a non-`'static` future, allowing driving a
non-`'static` future.
Also involved yet another round of bug fixes to the timer wheel as well as an
unfortunately serious rejiggering of the level-translation into libcurl. Eew.
