safina

A safe Rust async runtime.

Features

• forbid(unsafe_code)
• Depends only on std
• Good test coverage (>92%)

Limitations

• Requires Rust nightly, for OnceCell and Wake trait
• Allocates memory. You can avoid allocations by using advanced functions, like safina_executor::spawn_unpin.
• Not optimized

Documentation

https://docs.rs/safina

safina_async_test has an #[async_test] macro for running async fn test functions.

Examples

rust let executor = safina::Executor::default(); let (sender, receiver) = std::sync::mpsc::channel(); executor.spawn(async move { sender.send(()).unwrap(); }); receiver.recv().unwrap();

rust let result = safina::block_on(async { prepare_request().await?; execute_request().await })?;
