Overview of this book

Step into the world of asynchronous programming with confidence by conquering the challenges of unclear concepts with this hands-on guide. Using functional examples, this book simplifies the trickiest concepts, exploring goroutines, fibers, futures, and callbacks to help you navigate the vast Rust async ecosystem with ease. You’ll start by building a solid foundation in asynchronous programming and explore diverse strategies for modeling program flow. The book then guides you through concepts like epoll, coroutines, green threads, and callbacks using practical examples. The final section focuses on Rust, examining futures, generators, and the reactor-executor pattern. You’ll apply your knowledge to create your own runtime, solidifying expertise in this dynamic domain. Throughout the book, you’ll not only gain proficiency in Rust's async features but also see how Rust models asynchronous program flow. By the end of the book, you'll possess the knowledge and practical skills needed to actively contribute to the Rust async ecosystem.

The main program

Let’s see how it all works in practice. Make sure that delayserver is up and running, because we’ll need it for these examples to work.

The goal is to send a set of requests to delayserver with varying delays and then use epoll to wait for the responses. Therefore, we’ll only use epoll to track read events in this example. The program doesn’t do much more than that for now.

The first thing we do is to make sure our main.rs file is set up correctly:

ch04/a-epoll/src/main.rs

use std::{io::{self, Read, Result, Write}, net::TcpStream};
use ffi::Event;
use poll::Poll;
mod ffi;
mod poll;

We import a few types from our own crate and from the standard library, which we’ll need going forward, as well as declaring our two modules.

We’ll be working directly with TcpStreams in this example, and that means that we’ll have to format the HTTP requests we make to our delayserver ourselves.

The server will accept...
