Trait GenericSend 

pub trait GenericSend<T>
where
    T: Serialize + for<'de> Deserialize<'de>,
{
    // Required methods
    fn send(&self, _: T) -> SendResult;
    fn sender(&self) -> GenericSender<T>;

    // Provided methods
    fn send_or_warn(&self, message: T) { ... }
    fn send_or_ignore(&self, message: T) { ... }
}

Abstraction of the ability to send a particular type of message cross-process. This can be used to ease the use of GenericSender sub-fields.

Required Methods

fn send(&self, _: T) -> SendResult

send message T

fn sender(&self) -> GenericSender<T>

get underlying sender

Provided Methods

fn send_or_warn(&self, message: T)

Send a message T and log any error (instead of returning it).

In cases where channel closure is possible (because the receiver does not exist anymore), this convenience method can be used to ignore the result and log the error as a warning.

fn send_or_ignore(&self, message: T)

Send a message T and ignore the result

In cases where channel closure is expected to happen intermittently, and the sender doesn’t care about the result, this is a short form for let _ = GenericSend::send();, which makes the intent clearer.
