This crate contains the Tokio/MPSC backend for Dialectic. It
supports send/receive operations over all types which are Send + Any
. This is useful for
inter-task and inter-thread communication, especially if you're working on a protocol which needs to
be tested locally and is written to be backend-agnostic. There are a few important types:
dialectic_tokio_mpsc::Chan<P>
synonym is a quick type synonym for a channel which uses a
bounded MPSC Sender
/Receiver
pair, and analogously the
dialectic_tokio_mpsc::UnboundedChan<P>
provides a similar functionality for unbounded MPSC channels.dialectic_tokio_mpsc::Receiver
/Sender
/UnboundedReceiver
/UnboundedSender
types
transparently wrap the underlying MPSC receiver/sender types. If not for the orphan rules,
Dialectic's Transmitter
/Receiver
/Transmit
/Receive
traits would be directly implemented
on the tokio::mpsc
types, but Rust does not allow that.dialectic_tokio_mpsc::channel()
and unbounded_channel()
are provided for
conveniently constructing pairs of these transport types.
