maitake: consider some kind of user-provided runtime hooks
hawkw opened this issue · 3 comments
since maitake
is intended to be used as a lower-level "async runtime construction kit" rather than a complete out-of-the-box solution, we might want to figure out some way for users to provide additions hooks that run on events that occur "inside" the runtime.
currently, the Schedule
trait is user-implementable, so it's possible for user code to implement it for a type that wraps a maitake
provided implementation of Schedule
and runs additional functionality in Schedule
methods. it might be worth adding an example of this in the documentation.
but, the Schedule
trait doesn't have methods for a number of other events that user code might want to hook into. in particular, it could be worth adding methods for:
- binding a new task to a scheduler
- deallocating a task
- ???
@jamesmunns any additional things that happen inside the scheduler that you might want to hook into?
I don't have any feedback! I don't feel like I've needed anything, but a lot of the stuff like this that I've needed ends up living in the global kernel/userspace scheduler instance instead.
