## Motivation
`tokio_threadpool::ThreadPool::spawn` has no return value.
## Solution
Add `ThreadPool::spawn_handle` which calls
`futures::sync::oneshot::spawn` to return a future represents the return
value.
This patch refactors `length_delimited` to be implemented as a `Codec` and
use the default `Framed` wrapper types.
The original implementation did not do this in order to support vectored writes in the
write half. However, this implementation would be more efficient with small frames anyway.
If vectored writes are to be explored in the future, then it should be done holistically.

Previously, every call to `current_thread::Handle::spawn` would go
through a `mpsc` channel. This is unnecessary when the `Handle` is still
on the same thread as the current thread executor. This patch fixes that
by storing the `ThreadId` of the executor when it is created, and then
comparing against that when `Handle::spawn` is called. If the call is
made from the same thread, `spawn_local` is used directly.
Fixes#562.
This patch keeps the primary net types in `tokio::net` and moves
secondary types to a protocol specific submodules.
Primary types are the ones that users are most likely to name (`TcpStream`,
`TcpListener`, `UdpSocket`, ...)
Secondary types are the operation futures.
This patch adds experimental async/await support to Tokio. It does this
by adding feature flags to existing libs only where necessary in order
to add nightly specific code (mostly `Unpin` implementations). It then
provides a new crate: `tokio-async-await` which is a shim layer on top
of `tokio`.
The `tokio-async-await` crate is expected to look exactly like `tokio`
does, but with async / await support. This strategy reduces the amount
of cfg guarding in the main libraries.
This patch also adds `tokio-channel`, which is copied from futures-rs
0.1 and adds the necessary `Unpin` implementations. In general, futures
0.1 is mostly unmaintained, so it will make sense for Tokio to take over
maintainership of key components regardless of async / await support.
Re-export it inside the tokio::runtime::current_thread, as the original
place (tokio::executor::current_thread) is hidden from documentation and
users need some way to spawn non-Send futures.
This also bumps a number of sub crates:
* tokio-executor (0.1.3)
* tokio-io (0.1.8)
* tokio-reactor (0.1.4)
* tokio-threadpool (0.1.6)
* tokio-timer (0.2.6)
* tokio-udp (0.1.2)
This patch introduces `Timeout`. This new type allows setting a timeout
both using a duration and an instant. Given this overlap with
`Deadline`, `Deadline` is deprecated.
In addition to supporting future timeouts, the `Timeout` combinator is
able to provide timeout functionality to streams. It does this by
applying a duration based timeout to each item being yielded.
The main reason for introducing `Timeout` is that a deadline approach
does not work with streams. Since `Timeout` needed to be introduced
anyway, keeping `Deadline` around does not make sense.
* Remove `counted` field on `timer::Entry`.
It turns out that a better indicator of whether or not the number of
active timeouts should be decremented is if the `Entry` has been
associated with a timer. In other words, if `Entry::inner` can be
upgraded, then the count should be decremented on drop.
* timer: Tweak link between `Delay` and the driver
This tweaks the struct layout / details regarding how a `Delay` instance
is linked to a driver (timer instance). Instead of lazily allocating the
`Entry` (node shared between `Delay` and the timer), `Entry` is
allocated immediately when `Delay` is created. This allows using the
entry store data used by `Delay`.
This is in anticipation of further timer improvements that would
otherwise require the size of `Delay` to grow further. Since an
allocation is already made, the idea is to shrink the size of the
`Delay` struct.
This patch adds a `DelayQueue` to tokio_timer. The `DelayQueue` allows
inserting elements as well as specifying a time at which the element
should be returned to the user. This allows handling more complex
timeout situations.
This patch implements `Default` for `tokio_timer::Handle`. It returns a
`Handle` instance that is not bound to a specific timer. Instead, it
will use the timer for the current execution context. This is the same
strategy used by `tokio_reactor::Handle`.
Fixes#547
The `lines_encoder` test is a copy/paste of `bytes_encoder` and not
testing the LinesCodec encoding at all. This updates the test to do
simple validations of the LinesCodec encoding.
The futures 0.2 crate is not intended for widespread usage. Also, the
futures team is exploring the compat shim route.
If futures 0.3 support is added to Tokio 0.1, then a different
integration route will be explored, making the current code unhelpful.
