Tasks communicate * with each other using ports and channels (see std::rt::comm for more info * about how communication works). * * Tasks can be spawned in 3 different modes. * * * Bidirectionally linked: This is the default mode and it's what ```spawn``` does. * Failures will be propagated from parent to child and vice versa. * * * Unidirectionally linked (parent->child): This type of task can be created with * ```spawn_supervised```. In this case, failures are propagated from parent to child * but not the other way around. * * * Unlinked: Tasks can be completely unlinked. These tasks can be created by using * ```spawn_unlinked```. In this case failures are not propagated at all. * * Tasks' failure modes can be further configured. For instance, parent tasks can (un)watch * children failures. Please, refer to TaskBuilder's documentation bellow for more information. * * When a (bi|uni)directionally linked task fails, its failure will be propagated to all tasks * linked to it, this will cause such tasks to fail by a `linked failure`. * * Task Scheduling: * * By default, every task is created in the same scheduler as its parent, where it * is scheduled cooperatively with all other tasks in that scheduler. Some specialized * applications may want more control over their scheduling, in which case they can be * spawned into a new scheduler with the specific properties required. See TaskBuilder's * documentation bellow for more information. * * # Example * * ``` * spawn(proc() { * log(error, "Hello, World!"); * }) * ``` */ #[allow(missing_doc)]; use any::Any; use comm::{Chan, Port}; use io::Writer; use kinds::Send; use logging::Logger; use option::{None, Some, Option}; use result::{Result, Ok, Err}; use rt::local::Local; use rt::task::Task; use send_str::{SendStr, IntoSendStr}; use str::Str; use util; #[cfg(test)] use any::{AnyOwnExt, AnyRefExt}; #[cfg(test)] use comm::SharedChan; #[cfg(test)] use ptr; #[cfg(test)] use result; /// Indicates the manner in which a task exited. /// /// A task that completes without failing is considered to exit successfully. /// Supervised ancestors and linked siblings may yet fail after this task /// succeeds.
