## Motivation
The `tokio_net` resources can be created outside of a runtime due to how tokio
has been used with futures to date. For example, this allows a `TcpStream` to be
created, and later passed into a runtime:
```
let stream = TcpStream::connect(...).and_then(|socket| {
// do something
});
tokio::run(stream);
```
In order to support this functionality, the reactor was lazily bound to the
resource on the first call to `poll_read_ready`/`poll_write_ready`. This
required a lot of additional complexity in the binding logic to support.
With the tokio 0.2 common case, this is no longer necessary and can be removed.
All resources are expected to be created from within a runtime, and should panic
if not done so.
Closes #1168
## Solution
The `tokio_net` crate now assumes there to be a `CURRENT_REACTOR` set on the
worker thread creating a resource; this can be assumed if called within a tokio
runtime. If there is no current reactor, the application will panic with a "no
current reactor" message.
With this assumption, all the unsafe and atomics have been removed from
`tokio_net::driver::Registration` as it is no longer needed.
There is no longer any reason to pass in handles to the family of `from_std` methods on `net` resources. `Handle::current` has therefore a more restricted private use where it is only used in `driver::Registration::new`.

Tokio
NOTE: Tokio's master is currently undergoing heavy development. This branch and the alpha releases will see API breaking changes and there are currently significant performance regressions that still need to be fixed before the final release. Use the v0.1.x branch for stable releases.
A runtime for writing reliable, asynchronous, and slim applications with the Rust programming language. It is:
-
Fast: Tokio's zero-cost abstractions give you bare-metal performance.
-
Reliable: Tokio leverages Rust's ownership, type system, and concurrency model to reduce bugs and ensure thread safety.
-
Scalable: Tokio has a minimal footprint, and handles backpressure and cancellation naturally.

Overview
Tokio is an event-driven, non-blocking I/O platform for writing asynchronous applications with the Rust programming language. At a high level, it provides a few major components:
- A multithreaded, work-stealing based task scheduler.
- A reactor backed by the operating system's event queue (epoll, kqueue, IOCP, etc...).
- Asynchronous TCP and UDP sockets.
These components provide the runtime components necessary for building an asynchronous application.
Example
A basic TCP echo server with Tokio:
use tokio::net::TcpListener;
use tokio::prelude::*;
use std::net::SocketAddr;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:8080".parse::<SocketAddr>()?;
let mut listener = TcpListener::bind(&addr).await?;
loop {
let (mut socket, _) = listener.accept().await?;
tokio::spawn(async move {
let mut buf = [0; 1024];
// In a loop, read data from the socket and write the data back.
loop {
let n = match socket.read(&mut buf).await {
// socket closed
Ok(n) if n == 0 => return,
Ok(n) => n,
Err(e) => {
println!("failed to read from socket; err = {:?}", e);
return;
}
};
// Write the data back
if let Err(e) = socket.write_all(&buf[0..n]).await {
println!("failed to write to socket; err = {:?}", e);
return;
}
}
});
}
}
More examples can be found here. Note that the master branch
is currently being updated to use async / await. The examples are
not fully ported. Examples for stable Tokio can be found
here.

Supported Rust Versions
Tokio is built against the latest stable, nightly, and beta Rust releases. The minimum version supported is the stable release from three months before the current stable release version. For example, if the latest stable Rust is 1.29, the minimum version supported is 1.26. The current Tokio version is not guaranteed to build on Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
