Future Özellikleri (Traits)
Future
is a trait, implemented by objects that represent an operation that may not be complete yet. A future can be polled, and poll
returns a Poll
.
#![allow(unused)] fn main() { use std::pin::Pin; use std::task::Context; pub trait Future { type Output; fn poll(self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output>; } pub enum Poll<T> { Ready(T), Pending, } }
An async function returns an impl Future
. It's also possible (but uncommon) to implement Future
for your own types. For example, the JoinHandle
returned from tokio::spawn
implements Future
to allow joining to it.
The .await
keyword, applied to a Future, causes the current async function to pause until that Future is ready, and then evaluates to its output.

The
Future
andPoll
types are implemented exactly as shown; click the links to show the implementations in the docs. -
We will not get to
Pin
andContext
, as we will focus on writing async code, rather than building new async primitives. Briefly:-
Context
allows a Future to schedule itself to be polled again when an event occurs. -
Pin
ensures that the Future isn't moved in memory, so that pointers into that future remain valid. This is required to allow references to remain valid after an.await
.
