## This module implements asynchronous IO. This includes a dispatcher,
## a `Future` type implementation, and an `async` macro which allows
## asynchronous code to be written in a synchronous style with the `await`
## keyword.
##
## The dispatcher acts as a kind of event loop. You must call `poll` on it
## (or a function which does so for you such as `waitFor` or `runForever`)
## in order to poll for any outstanding events. The underlying implementation
## is based on epoll on Linux, IO Completion Ports on Windows and select on
## other operating systems.
##
## The `poll` function will not, on its own, return any events. Instead
## an appropriate `Future` object will be completed. A `Future` is a
## type which holds a value which is not yet available, but which *may* be
## available in the future. You can check whether a future is finished
## by using the `finished` function. When a future is finished it means that
## either the value that it holds is now available or it holds an error instead.
## The latter situation occurs when the operation to complete a future fails
## with an exception. You can distinguish between the two situations with the
## `failed` function.
##
## Future objects can also store a callback procedure which will be called
## automatically once the future completes.
##
## Futures therefore can be thought of as an implementation of the proactor
## pattern. In this
## pattern you make a request for an action, and once that action is fulfilled
## a future is completed with the result of that action. Requests can be
## made by calling the appropriate functions. For example: calling the `recv`
## function will create a request for some data to be read from a socket. The
## future which the `recv` function returns will then complete once the
## requested amount of data is read **or** an exception occurs.
##
## Code to read some data from a socket may look something like this:
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
##    var future = socket.recv(100)
##    future.addCallback(
##      proc () =
##        echo(future.read)
##    )
##
## All asynchronous functions returning a `Future` will not block. They
## will not however return immediately. An asynchronous function will have
## code which will be executed before an asynchronous request is made, in most
## cases this code sets up the request.
##
## In the above example, the `recv` function will return a brand new
## `Future` instance once the request for data to be read from the socket
## is made. This `Future` instance will complete once the requested amount
## of data is read, in this case it is 100 bytes. The second line sets a
## callback on this future which will be called once the future completes.
## All the callback does is write the data stored in the future to `stdout`.
## The `read` function is used for this and it checks whether the future
## completes with an error for you (if it did, it will simply raise the
## error), if there is no error, however, it returns the value of the future.
##
## Asynchronous procedures
## =======================
##
## Asynchronous procedures remove the pain of working with callbacks. They do
## this by allowing you to write asynchronous code the same way as you would
## write synchronous code.
##
## An asynchronous procedure is marked using the `{.async.}` pragma.
## When marking a procedure with the `{.async.}` pragma it must have a
## `Future[T]` return type or no return type at all. If you do not specify
## a return type then `Future[void]` is assumed.
##
## Inside asynchronous procedures `await` can be used to call any
## procedures which return a
## `Future`; this includes asynchronous procedures. When a procedure is
## "awaited", the asynchronous procedure it is awaited in will
## suspend its execution
## until the awaited procedure's Future completes. At which point the
## asynchronous procedure will resume its execution. During the period
## when an asynchronous procedure is suspended other asynchronous procedures
## will be run by the dispatcher.
##
## The `await` call may be used in many contexts. It can be used on the right
## hand side of a variable declaration: `var data = await socket.recv(100)`,
## in which case the variable will be set to the value of the future
## automatically. It can be used to await a `Future` object, and it can
## be used to await a procedure returning a `Future[void]`:
## `await socket.send("foobar")`.
##
## If an awaited future completes with an error, then `await` will re-raise
## this error. To avoid this, you can use the `yield` keyword instead of
## `await`. The following section shows different ways that you can handle
## exceptions in async procs.
##
## Handling Exceptions
## -------------------
##
## The most reliable way to handle exceptions is to use `yield` on a future
## then check the future's `failed` property. For example:
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
##   var future = sock.recv(100)
##   yield future
##   if future.failed:
##     # Handle exception
##
## The `async` procedures also offer limited support for the try statement.
##
## .. code-block:: Nim
##   try:
##     let data = await sock.recv(100)
##     echo("Received ", data)
##   except:
##     # Handle exception
##
## Unfortunately the semantics of the try statement may not always be correct,
## and occasionally the compilation may fail altogether.
## As such it is better to use the former style when possible.
##
##
## Discarding futures
## ==================
##
## Futures should **never** be discarded. This is because they may contain
## errors. If you do not care for the result of a Future then you should
## use the `asyncCheck` procedure instead of the `discard` keyword. Note
## however that this does not wait for completion, and you should use
## `waitFor` for that purpose.
##
## Examples
## ========
##
## For examples take a look at the documentation for the modules implementing
## asynchronous IO. A good place to start is the
## `asyncnet module <asyncnet.html>`_.
##
## Investigating pending futures
## =============================
##
## It's possible to get into a situation where an async proc, or more accurately
## a `Future[T]` gets stuck and
## never completes. This can happen for various reasons and can cause serious
## memory leaks. When this occurs it's hard to identify the procedure that is
## stuck.
##
## Thankfully there is a mechanism which tracks the count of each pending future.
## All you need to do to enable it is compile with `-d:futureLogging` and
## use the `getFuturesInProgress` procedure to get the list of pending futures
## together with the stack traces to the moment of their creation.
##
## You may also find it useful to use this
## `prometheus package <https://github.com/dom96/prometheus>`_ which will log
## the pending futures into prometheus, allowing you to analyse them via a nice
## graph.
##
##
##
## Limitations/Bugs
## ================
##
## * The effect system (`raises: []`) does not work with async procedures.
##
##
## Multiple async backend support
## ==============================
##
## Thanks to its powerful macro support, Nim allows ``async``/``await`` to be
## implemented in libraries with only minimal support from the language - as
## such, multiple ``async`` libraries exist, including ``asyncdispatch`` and
## ``chronos``, and more may come to be developed in the future.
##
## Libraries built on top of async/await may wish to support multiple async
## backends - the best way to do so is to create separate modules for each backend
## that may be imported side-by-side.
##
## An alternative way is to select backend using a global compile flag - this
## method makes it difficult to compose applications that use both backends as may
## happen with transitive dependencies, but may be appropriate in some cases -
## libraries choosing this path should call the flag `asyncBackend`, allowing
## applications to choose the backend with `-d:asyncBackend=<backend_name>`.
##
## Known `async` backends include:
##
## * `none` - ``-d:asyncBackend=none`` - disable ``async`` support completely
## * `asyncdispatch <https://nim-lang.org/docs/asyncdispatch.html> -``-d:asyncBackend=asyncdispatch``
## * `chronos <https://github.com/status-im/nim-chronos/>` - ``-d:asyncBackend=chronos``
##
## ``none`` can be used when a library supports both a synchronous and
## asynchronous API, to disable the latter.
