|
||
<p>This module contains <a href="struct.Reactor.html"><code>Reactor</code></a>, which is the event loop that drives all
|
||
Tokio I/O resources. It is the reactor's job to receive events from the
|
||
operating system (<a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/epoll.7.html">epoll</a>, <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue&sektion=2">kqueue</a>, <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365198(v=vs.85).aspx">IOCP</a>, etc...) and forward them to
|
||
waiting tasks. It is the bridge between operating system and the futures
|
||
model.</p>
|
||
<h1 id="overview" class="section-header"><a href="#overview">Overview</a></h1>
|
||
<p>When using Tokio, all operations are asynchronous and represented by
|
||
futures. These futures, representing the application logic, are scheduled by
|
||
an executor (see <a href="https://tokio.rs/docs/getting-started/runtime-model/">runtime model</a> for more details). Executors wait for
|
||
notifications before scheduling the future for execution time, i.e., nothing
|
||
happens until an event is received indicating that the task can make
|
||
progress.</p>
|
||
<p>The reactor receives events from the operating system and notifies the
|
||
executor.</p>
|
||
<p>Let's start with a basic example, establishing a TCP connection.</p>
|
||

||

|

<span class="macro">println</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="string">"successfully connected"</span>);
|
||
<span class="prelude-val">Ok</span>(())
|
||
})
|
||
.<span class="ident">map_err</span>(<span class="op">|</span><span class="ident">e</span><span class="op">|</span> <span class="macro">println</span><span class="macro">!</span>(<span class="string">"failed to connect; err={:?}"</span>, <span class="ident">e</span>));
|
||
|
||
<span class="ident">tokio</span>::<span class="ident">run</span>(<span class="ident">task</span>);</pre>
|
||
<p>Establishing a TCP connection usually cannot be completed immediately.
|
||
<a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>TcpStream::connect</code></a> does not block the current thread. Instead, it
|
||
returns a <a href="../net/struct.ConnectFuture.html">future</a> that resolves once the TCP connection has
|
||
been established. The connect future itself has no way of knowing when the
|
||
TCP connection has been established.</p>
|
||
<p>Before returning the future, <a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>TcpStream::connect</code></a> registers the socket
|
||
with a reactor. This registration process, handled by <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a>, is
|
||
what links the <a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html"><code>TcpStream</code></a> with the <a href="struct.Reactor.html"><code>Reactor</code></a> instance. At this point,
|
||
the reactor starts listening for connection events from the operating system
|
||
for that socket.</p>
|
||
<p>Once the connect future is passed to <a href="../runtime/fn.run.html"><code>tokio::run</code></a>, it is spawned onto a
|
||
thread pool. The thread pool waits until it is notified that the connection
|
||
has completed.</p>
|
||
<p>When the TCP connection is established, the reactor receives an event from
|
||
the operating system. It then notifies the thread pool, telling it that the
|
||
connect future can complete. At this point, the thread pool will schedule
|
||
the task to run on one of its worker threads. This results in the <code>and_then</code>
|
||
closure to get executed.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="lazy-registration" class="section-header"><a href="#lazy-registration">Lazy registration</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Notice how the snippet above does not explicitly reference a reactor. When
|
||
<a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>TcpStream::connect</code></a> is called, it registers the socket with a reactor,
|
||
but no reactor is specified. This works because the registration process
|
||
mentioned above is actually lazy. It doesn't <em>actually</em> happen in the
|
||
<a href="../net/struct.TcpStream.html#method.connect"><code>connect</code></a> function. Instead, the registration is established the first
|
||
time that the task is polled (again, see <a href="https://tokio.rs/docs/getting-started/runtime-model/">runtime model</a>).</p>
|
||
<p>A reactor instance is automatically made available when using the Tokio
|
||
<a href="../runtime">runtime</a>, which is done using <a href="../runtime/fn.run.html"><code>tokio::run</code></a>. The Tokio runtime's executor
|
||
sets a thread-local variable referencing the associated <a href="struct.Reactor.html"><code>Reactor</code></a> instance
|
||
and <a href="struct.Handle.html#method.current"><code>Handle::current</code></a> (used by <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a>) returns the reference.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="implementation" class="section-header"><a href="#implementation">Implementation</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The reactor implementation uses <a href="https://github.com/carllerche/mio"><code>mio</code></a> to interface with the operating
|
||
system's event queue. A call to <a href="struct.Reactor.html#method.poll"><code>Reactor::poll</code></a> results in in a single
|
||
call to <a href="https://docs.rs/mio/0.6/mio/struct.Poll.html#method.poll"><code>Poll::poll</code></a> which in turn results in a single call to the
|
||
operating system's selector.</p>
|
||
<p>The reactor maintains state for each registered I/O resource. This tracks
|
||
the executor task to notify when events are provided by the operating
|
||
system's selector. This state is stored in a <code>Sync</code> data structure and
|
||
referenced by <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a>. When the <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a> instance is
|
||
dropped, this state is cleaned up. Because the state is stored in a <code>Sync</code>
|
||
data structure, the <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a> instance is able to be moved to other
|
||
threads.</p>
|
||
<p>By default, a runtime's default reactor runs on a background thread. This
|
||
ensures that application code cannot significantly impact the reactor's
|
||
responsiveness.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="integrating-with-the-reactor" class="section-header"><a href="#integrating-with-the-reactor">Integrating with the reactor</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Tokio comes with a number of I/O resources, like TCP and UDP sockets, that
|
||
automatically integrate with the reactor. However, library authors or
|
||
applications may wish to implement their own resources that are also backed
|
||
by the reactor.</p>
|
||
<p>There are a couple of ways to do this.</p>
|
||
<p>If the custom I/O resource implements <a href="https://docs.rs/mio/0.6/mio/trait.Evented.html"><code>mio::Evented</code></a> and implements
|
||
<a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Read.html"><code>std::Read</code></a> and / or <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Write.html"><code>std::Write</code></a>, then <a href="struct.PollEvented.html"><code>PollEvented</code></a> is the most
|
||
suited.</p>
|
||
<p>Otherwise, <a href="struct.Registration.html"><code>Registration</code></a> can be used directly. This provides the lowest
|
||
level primitive needed for integrating with the reactor: a stream of
|
||
readiness events.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
|
||
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
|
||
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
|
||
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
|
||
and <code>const</code>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
|
||
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
