This repo is now unmaintained.
The executor design lives on as part of embassy. The version there has many fixes and improvements not present in this repo.
Proof of concept of a Rust async executor that statically allocates tasks. Ideal for embedded devices, works
without std or alloc.
See examples/simple.rs for usage example.
To-Do list:
- safety hole: add a check so that run() cannot be invoked from several threads concurrently.
- Return "pool full" errors from spawn (it currently panics)
- The macros are not very ergonomic, maybe attribute macros would be nicer:
#[task]and#[task_pool(4)].
Missing features (still undecided if they're in-scope of this project):
- Add JoinHandles. Allows awaiting one task from another.
- Add ability for JoinHandle to retrieve the future's result.
- Add ability for JoinHandle to cancel running tasks.
Non-features:
- Dynamic allocation of tasks. This is fundamentally incompatible with how wakers are implemented.
