Tracking issue: #70922

This PR stabilizes the task::ready! macro. Similar to #80886, this PR was waiting on #74355 to be fixed.

The task::ready! API has existed in the futures ecosystem for several years, and was added on nightly last year in #70817. The motivation for this macro is the same as it was back then: virtually every single manual future implementation makes use of this; so much so that it's one of the few things included in the futures-core library.

r? @tmandry

cc/ @rust-lang/wg-async-foundations @rust-lang/libs

Example

use core::task::{Context, Poll};
use core::future::Future;
use core::pin::Pin;

async fn get_num() -> usize {
    42
}

pub fn do_poll(cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<()> {
    let mut f = get_num();
    let f = unsafe { Pin::new_unchecked(&mut f) };
    
    let num = ready!(f.poll(cx));
    // ... use num

    Poll::Ready(())
}

Looking at the implementation of the macro, I would expect to use ? instead, since that makes it more clear that it short-circuits and returns if the task isn't ready. Have you considered implementing Try for Poll?

cc @scottmcm since I know you've been thinking a lot about Try recently

yoshuawuyts commented Jan 15, 2021

@jyn514 Poll already implements Try if the inner type is an Option, Result, or Result of Option. I forget the reason, but I believe this may simply not be possible to implement on any type T without specialization.

Actually that makes for an interesting proposition. When I introduced this API early last year specialization seemed unstable enough that I didn't feel comfortable to even suggest it. However now.. perhaps? I haven't kept up with the progress of min_specialization enough to know whether it's feasible. If we could just make this work with ? that may indeed be preferable.

@jyn514 For the Poll impls, @cramertj knows more than I do.

I'd be pretty hesitant to make ? behave wildly differently for different variants of Polls. I think we're just stuck with the fact that ? on Poll maps through to the inner value.

That's fair; in which case I think we should proceed with stabilizing task::ready! as per this PR.

This stabilizes the task::ready! macro, which is used in manual futures implementations to early-return on Poll::Pending.

Poll already implements Try if the inner type is an Option, Result, or Result of Option.

? on Poll types like Poll<Option<Result>> working on the innermost None/Err instead of the outermost Pending was stabilized as part of the futures_api, but was never really discussed much separately in the context of stabilization (or FCP'd separately). This behaviour was called out in one comment on the futures_api stabilization PR, but that comment seems to have been ignored. :(

Do we expect manual futures implementations to continue to become more niche as async becomes available in more contexts?

Do we expect manual futures implementations to continue to become more niche as async becomes available in more contexts?

To some degree. For example async gen fn may replace manual Stream impls just like gen fn might for Iter, but for industrial-grade libraries it seems likely manual implementations will continue to be used. Returning anonymous futures/streams are not nearly as flexible as named impls.

Also for some async traits like AsyncRead and AsyncWrite there is no clear path yet how language level features could obsolete the need to implement these by hand.

I think the usage of ready! will likely roughly remain where it is now. Arguably it's already a bit of a niche: understanding how to implement futures takes a fair bit of learning. I suspect more language features will not so much take away from existing implementations, as make async Rust accessible to a greater number of people.

My concern with stabilizing this (and with the futures API it's based on) is that std::task::ready! is easily confused with std::future::ready, a function with very different semantics.

I remember thinking of other names in the past, like try_poll!. But I didn't feel like opening a bikeshed back then. So I guess I'm doing that now 😅

@yoshuawuyts

@tmandry are you able to file a concern about naming? We probably should ensure we don't merge this until that's resolved.

I don't feel strongly about either ready! or try_poll!. The reasoning in favor of try_poll! makes sense to me and I wouldn't be opposed to going with that instead.

Personally, I don't think the name try_poll is easy-to-understand. AFAIK, many (most?) of the use of the term "try" in the APIs of the standard library (and futures) relates to results, options, or Try traits. I think it's confusing to add another try_* that behaves wildly differently from the Try implementation of Poll.

FWIW, In the past futures had a macro called try_poll that did something wildly different. rust-lang/futures-rs#1698. (There was also a macro called try_ready.)

Another idea I remember is poll_await!, since you're basically awaiting a future inside of a poll implementation.

Another idea I remember is poll_await!, since you're basically awaiting a future inside of a poll implementation.

I'm not sure it's preferable to use names that include await.
Unlike .await, ready returns early rather than suspending.
I know that some people are already writing broken code using ready like .await (i.e., the code that misunderstands that the state when ready is called is maintained in the next poll* call), but names that include await may be more misleading.

ready! is going to remain in Tokio's API surface for a while, even if it's deprecated

FWIW Tokio doesn't actually expose ready!. But so many other crates do that the point still stands.

Version 1.56.0 (2021-10-21)
========================

Language
--------

- [The 2021 Edition is now stable.][rust#88100]
  See [the edition guide][rust-2021-edition-guide] for more details.
- [The pattern in `binding @ pattern` can now also introduce new bindings.]
  [rust#85305]
- [Union field access is permitted in `const fn`.][rust#85769]

[rust-2021-edition-guide]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rust-2021/index.html

Compiler
--------

- [Upgrade to LLVM 13.][rust#87570]
- [Support memory, address, and thread sanitizers on
  aarch64-unknown-freebsd.][rust#88023]
- [Allow specifying a deployment target version for all iOS targets][rust#87699]
- [Warnings can be forced on with `--force-warn`.][rust#87472]
  This feature is primarily intended for usage by `cargo fix`,
  rather than end users.
- [Promote `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` to Tier 2\*.][rust#87760]
- [Add `powerpc-unknown-freebsd` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87370]
- [Add `riscv32imc-esp-espidf` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87666]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [Allow writing of incomplete UTF-8 sequences via stdout/stderr on Windows.]
  [rust#83342]
  The Windows console still requires valid Unicode, but this change allows
  splitting a UTF-8 character across multiple write calls. This allows, for
  instance, programs that just read and write data buffers (e.g. copying a file
  to stdout) without regard for Unicode or character boundaries.
- [Prefer `AtomicU{64,128}` over Mutex for Instant backsliding protection.]
  [rust#83093]
  For this use case, atomics scale much better under contention.
- [Implement `Extend<(A, B)>` for `(Extend<A>, Extend<B>)`][rust#85835]
- [impl Default, Copy, Clone for std::io::Sink and std::io::Empty][rust#86744]
- [`impl From<[(K, V); N]>` for all collections.][rust#84111]
- [Remove `P: Unpin` bound on impl Future for Pin.][rust#81363]
- [Treat invalid environment variable names as non-existent.][rust#86183]
  Previously, the environment functions would panic if given a
  variable name with an internal null character or equal sign (`=`).
  Now, these functions will just treat such names as non-existent
  variables, since the OS cannot represent the existence of a
  variable with such a name.

Stabilised APIs
---------------

- [`std::os::unix::fs::chroot`]
- [`UnsafeCell::raw_get`]
- [`BufWriter::into_parts`]
- [`core::panic::{UnwindSafe, RefUnwindSafe, AssertUnwindSafe}`]
  These APIs were previously stable in `std`, but are now also available
  in `core`.
- [`Vec::shrink_to`]
- [`String::shrink_to`]
- [`OsString::shrink_to`]
- [`PathBuf::shrink_to`]
- [`BinaryHeap::shrink_to`]
- [`VecDeque::shrink_to`]
- [`HashMap::shrink_to`]
- [`HashSet::shrink_to`]

These APIs are now usable in const contexts:

- [`std::mem::transmute`]
- [`[T]::first`][`slice::first`]
- [`[T]::split_first`][`slice::split_first`]
- [`[T]::last`][`slice::last`]
- [`[T]::split_last`][`slice::split_last`]

Cargo
-----

- [Cargo supports specifying a minimum supported Rust version in Cargo.toml.]
  [`rust-version`] This has no effect at present on dependency
  version selection.  We encourage crates to specify their minimum
  supported Rust version, and we encourage CI systems that support
  Rust code to include a crate's specified minimum version in the
  text matrix for that crate by default.

Compatibility notes
-------------------

- [Update to new argument parsing rules on Windows.][rust#87580]
  This adjusts Rust's standard library to match the behavior of the standard
  libraries for C/C++. The rules have changed slightly over time, and this PR
  brings us to the latest set of rules (changed in 2008).
- [Disallow the aapcs calling convention on aarch64][rust#88399]
  This was already not supported by LLVM; this change surfaces this lack of
  support with a better error message.
- [Make `SEMICOLON_IN_EXPRESSIONS_FROM_MACROS` warn by default][rust#87385]
- [Warn when an escaped newline skips multiple lines.][rust#87671]
- [Calls to `libc::getpid` / `std::process::id` from `Command::pre_exec`
  may return different values on glibc <= 2.24.][rust#81825] Rust
  now invokes the `clone3` system call directly, when available,
  to use new functionality available via that system call. Older
  versions of glibc cache the result of `getpid`, and only update
  that cache when calling glibc's clone/fork functions, so a direct
  system call bypasses that cache update. glibc 2.25 and newer no
  longer cache `getpid` for exactly this reason.

Internal changes
----------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent
significant improvements to the internals and overall performance
of rustc and related tools.

- [LLVM is compiled with PGO in published x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  artifacts.][rust#88069] This improves the performance of most Rust builds.

- [Unify representation of macros in internal data structures.][rust#88019]
  This change fixes a host of bugs with the handling of macros by the compiler,
  as well as rustdoc.

- [Upgrade to LLVM 13.][rust#87570]
- [Support memory, address, and thread sanitizers on aarch64-unknown-freebsd.]
  [rust#88023]
- [Allow specifying a deployment target version for all iOS targets][rust#87699]
- [Warnings can be forced on with `--force-warn`.][rust#87472]
  This feature is primarily intended for usage by `cargo fix`, rather than
  end users.
- [Promote `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` to Tier 2\*.][rust#87760]
- [Add `powerpc-unknown-freebsd` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87370]
- [Add `riscv32imc-esp-espidf` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87666]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [Allow writing of incomplete UTF-8 sequences via stdout/stderr on Windows.]
  [rust#83342]
  The Windows console still requires valid Unicode, but this change allows
  splitting a UTF-8 character across multiple write calls. This allows, for
  instance, programs that just read and write data buffers (e.g. copying a file
  to stdout) without regard for Unicode or character boundaries.
- [Prefer `AtomicU{64,128}` over Mutex for Instant backsliding protection.]
  [rust#83093]
  For this use case, atomics scale much better under contention.
- [Implement `Extend<(A, B)>` for `(Extend<A>, Extend<B>)`][rust#85835]
- [impl Default, Copy, Clone for std::io::Sink and std::io::Empty][rust#86744]
- [`impl From<[(K, V); N]>` for all collections.][rust#84111]
- [Remove `P: Unpin` bound on impl Future for Pin.][rust#81363]
- [Treat invalid environment variable names as non-existent.][rust#86183]
  Previously, the environment functions would panic if given a
  variable name with an internal null character or equal sign (`=`).
  Now, these functions will just treat such names as non-existent
  variables, since the OS cannot represent the existence of a
  variable with such a name.

Stabilised APIs
---------------

- [`std::os::unix::fs::chroot`]
- [`UnsafeCell::raw_get`]
- [`BufWriter::into_parts`]
- [`core::panic::{UnwindSafe, RefUnwindSafe, AssertUnwindSafe}`]
  These APIs were previously stable in `std`, but are now also available
  in `core`.
- [`Vec::shrink_to`]
- [`String::shrink_to`]
- [`OsString::shrink_to`]
- [`PathBuf::shrink_to`]
- [`BinaryHeap::shrink_to`]
- [`VecDeque::shrink_to`]
- [`HashMap::shrink_to`]
- [`HashSet::shrink_to`]

These APIs are now usable in const contexts:

- [`std::mem::transmute`]
- [`[T]::first`][`slice::first`]
- [`[T]::split_first`][`slice::split_first`]
- [`[T]::last`][`slice::last`]
- [`[T]::split_last`][`slice::split_last`]

Cargo
-----

- [Cargo supports specifying a minimum supported Rust version in Cargo.toml.]
  [`rust-version`]
  This has no effect at present on dependency version selection.
  We encourage crates to specify their minimum supported Rust
  version, and we encourage CI systems that support Rust code to
  include a crate's specified minimum version in the text matrix
  for that crate by default.

Compatibility notes
-------------------

- [Update to new argument parsing rules on Windows.][rust#87580]
  This adjusts Rust's standard library to match the behavior of the standard
  libraries for C/C++. The rules have changed slightly over time, and this PR
  brings us to the latest set of rules (changed in 2008).
- [Disallow the aapcs calling convention on aarch64][rust#88399]
  This was already not supported by LLVM; this change surfaces this lack of
  support with a better error message.
- [Make `SEMICOLON_IN_EXPRESSIONS_FROM_MACROS` warn by default][rust#87385]
- [Warn when an escaped newline skips multiple lines.][rust#87671]
- [Calls to `libc::getpid` / `std::process::id` from `Command::pre_exec`
  may return different values on glibc <= 2.24.][rust#81825]
  Rust now invokes the `clone3` system call directly, when available,
  to use new functionality available via that system call. Older
  versions of glibc cache the result of `getpid`, and only update
  that cache when calling glibc's clone/fork functions, so a direct
  system call bypasses that cache update. glibc 2.25 and newer no
  longer cache `getpid` for exactly this reason.

Internal changes
----------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent
significant improvements to the internals and overall performance
of rustc and related tools.

- [LLVM is compiled with PGO in published x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu artifacts.]
  [rust#88069]
  This improves the performance of most Rust builds.
- [Unify representation of macros in internal data structures.][rust#88019]
  This change fixes a host of bugs with the handling of macros by the compiler,
  as well as rustdoc.

Version 1.55.0 (2021-09-09)
============================

Language
--------
- [You can now write open "from" range patterns (`X..`), which will start
  at `X` and will end at the maximum value of the integer.][83918]
- [You can now explicitly import the prelude of different editions
  through `std::prelude` (e.g. `use std::prelude::rust_2021::*;`).][86294]

Compiler
--------
- [Added tier 3\* support for `powerpc64le-unknown-freebsd`.][83572]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
   information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [Updated std's float parsing to use the Eisel-Lemire algorithm.][86761]
  These improvements should in general provide faster string parsing of floats,
  no longer reject certain valid floating point values, and reduce
  the produced code size for non-stripped artifacts.
- [`string::Drain` now implements `AsRef<str>` and `AsRef<[u8]>`.][86858]

Stabilised APIs
---------------

- [`Bound::cloned`]
- [`Drain::as_str`]
- [`IntoInnerError::into_error`]
- [`IntoInnerError::into_parts`]
- [`MaybeUninit::assume_init_mut`]
- [`MaybeUninit::assume_init_ref`]
- [`MaybeUninit::write`]
- [`array::map`]
- [`ops::ControlFlow`]
- [`x86::_bittest`]
- [`x86::_bittestandcomplement`]
- [`x86::_bittestandreset`]
- [`x86::_bittestandset`]
- [`x86_64::_bittest64`]
- [`x86_64::_bittestandcomplement64`]
- [`x86_64::_bittestandreset64`]
- [`x86_64::_bittestandset64`]

The following previously stable functions are now `const`.

- [`str::from_utf8_unchecked`]


Cargo
-----
- [Cargo will now deduplicate compiler diagnostics to the terminal when invoking
  rustc in parallel such as when using `cargo test`.][cargo/9675]
- [The package definition in `cargo metadata` now includes the `"default_run"`
  field from the manifest.][cargo/9550]
- [Added `cargo d` as an alias for `cargo doc`.][cargo/9680]
- [Added `{lib}` as formatting option for `cargo tree` to print the `"lib_name"`
  of packages.][cargo/9663]

Rustdoc
-------
- [Added "Go to item on exact match" search option.][85876]
- [The "Implementors" section on traits no longer shows redundant
  method definitions.][85970]
- [Trait implementations are toggled open by default.][86260] This should
  make the implementations more searchable by tools like `CTRL+F` in
  your browser.
- [Intra-doc links should now correctly resolve associated items (e.g. methods)
  through type aliases.][86334]
- [Traits which are marked with `#[doc(hidden)]` will no longer appear in the
  "Trait Implementations" section.][86513]


Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [std functions that return an `io::Error` will no longer use the
  `ErrorKind::Other` variant.][85746] This is to better reflect that these
  kinds of errors could be categorised [into newer more specific `ErrorKind`
  variants][79965], and that they do not represent a user error.
- [Using environment variable names with `process::Command` on Windows now
  behaves as expected.][85270] Previously using envionment variables with
  `Command` would cause them to be ASCII-uppercased.
- [Rustdoc will now warn on using rustdoc lints that aren't prefixed
  with `rustdoc::`][86849]
