This patch renames `Sleep` from tokio-timer and the tokio facade to
`Delay`. Given that the future does not actually put anything to sleep,
the `Delay` name feels more appropriate.
Fixes#263
This patch integrate the new timer implementation with the runtime by
initializing a timer per worker thread. This allows minimizing the
amount of synchronization needed for using timers.
* Allow customizing the threadpool's parker
This patch allows the user of threadpool to customize how the worker
threads park themselves. This allows custom parking logic to be
injected. For example, this allows embedding a timer on each worker
thread.
* Call `park` instance every so often.
Since the `park` is now customizable, it might have logic that must be
called every so often. For example, a timer might have timeouts that it
must expire.
Currently, if a worker is very busy, it won't call into the `park`
instance. This patch changes this so that after every 32 task
invocations, `park` is called with a duration of zero.
This patch adds a new crate: tokio-timer. This crate provides an
efficient timer implemeentation designed for use in Tokio based
applications.
The timer users a hierarchical hashed timer wheel algorithm with six
levels, each having 64 slots. This allows the timer to have a resolution
of 1ms while maintaining O(1) complexity for insert, removal, and firing
of timeouts.
There already exists a tokio-timer crate. This is a complete rewrite
which solves the outstanding problems with the existing tokio-timer
library.
Closes#146.
* Fix races.
This mostly pulls in changes from rust-lang-nursery/futures-rs#881, but
also updates Registration to be a bit more obvious as to what is going
on.
* Reduce spurious wakeups caused by Reactor
This patch adds an ABA guard on token values before registering them
with Mio. This allows catching token reuse and avoid the notification.
This is needed for OS X as the notification is used to determine that a
TCP connect has completed. A spurious notification can potentially cause
write failures.
Currently, the runtime does not shutdown if the runtime handle is
dropped. This can happen during a panic or when the value is simply
dropped.
This patch forces the runtime to shutdown if it is not explicitly
shutdown.
Fixes#209
