The channel receiver

Implementations§

source §

impl<T> UnboundedReceiver<T>

source

pub(crate) fn new(chan: Rx<T, Semaphore>) -> UnboundedReceiver<T>

source

pub async fn recv(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Receives the next value for this receiver.

This method returns None if the channel has been closed and there are no remaining messages in the channel’s buffer. This indicates that no further values can ever be received from this Receiver. The channel is closed when all senders have been dropped, or when close is called.

If there are no messages in the channel’s buffer, but the channel has not yet been closed, this method will sleep until a message is sent or the channel is closed.

§Cancel safety

This method is cancel safe. If recv is used as the event in a tokio::select! statement and some other branch completes first, it is guaranteed that no messages were received on this channel.

§Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        tx.send("hello").unwrap();
    });

    assert_eq!(Some("hello"), rx.recv().await);
    assert_eq!(None, rx.recv().await);
}

Values are buffered:

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();

    tx.send("hello").unwrap();
    tx.send("world").unwrap();

    assert_eq!(Some("hello"), rx.recv().await);
    assert_eq!(Some("world"), rx.recv().await);
}

source

pub async fn recv_many(&mut self, buffer: &mut Vec<T>, limit: usize) -> usize

Receives the next values for this receiver and extends buffer.

This method extends buffer by no more than a fixed number of values as specified by limit. If limit is zero, the function returns immediately with 0. The return value is the number of values added to buffer.

For limit > 0, if there are no messages in the channel’s queue, but the channel has not yet been closed, this method will sleep until a message is sent or the channel is closed.

For non-zero values of limit, this method will never return 0 unless the channel has been closed and there are no remaining messages in the channel’s queue. This indicates that no further values can ever be received from this Receiver. The channel is closed when all senders have been dropped, or when close is called.

The capacity of buffer is increased as needed.

§Cancel safety

This method is cancel safe. If recv_many is used as the event in a tokio::select! statement and some other branch completes first, it is guaranteed that no messages were received on this channel.

§Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut buffer: Vec<&str> = Vec::with_capacity(2);
    let limit = 2;
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();
    let tx2 = tx.clone();
    tx2.send("first").unwrap();
    tx2.send("second").unwrap();
    tx2.send("third").unwrap();

    // Call `recv_many` to receive up to `limit` (2) values.
    assert_eq!(2, rx.recv_many(&mut buffer, limit).await);
    assert_eq!(vec!["first", "second"], buffer);

    // If the buffer is full, the next call to `recv_many`
    // reserves additional capacity.
    assert_eq!(1, rx.recv_many(&mut buffer, limit).await);

    tokio::spawn(async move {
        tx.send("fourth").unwrap();
    });

    // 'tx' is dropped, but `recv_many`
    // is guaranteed not to return 0 as the channel
    // is not yet closed.
    assert_eq!(1, rx.recv_many(&mut buffer, limit).await);
    assert_eq!(vec!["first", "second", "third", "fourth"], buffer);

    // Once the last sender is dropped, the channel is
    // closed and `recv_many` returns 0, capacity unchanged.
    drop(tx2);
    assert_eq!(0, rx.recv_many(&mut buffer, limit).await);
    assert_eq!(vec!["first", "second", "third", "fourth"], buffer);
}

source

pub fn try_recv(&mut self) -> Result<T, TryRecvError>

Tries to receive the next value for this receiver.

This method returns the Empty error if the channel is currently empty, but there are still outstanding senders or permits.

This method returns the Disconnected error if the channel is currently empty, and there are no outstanding senders or permits.

Unlike the poll_recv method, this method will never return an Empty error spuriously.

§Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc;
use tokio::sync::mpsc::error::TryRecvError;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();

    tx.send("hello").unwrap();

    assert_eq!(Ok("hello"), rx.try_recv());
    assert_eq!(Err(TryRecvError::Empty), rx.try_recv());

    tx.send("hello").unwrap();
    // Drop the last sender, closing the channel.
    drop(tx);

    assert_eq!(Ok("hello"), rx.try_recv());
    assert_eq!(Err(TryRecvError::Disconnected), rx.try_recv());
}

source

pub fn blocking_recv(&mut self) -> Option<T>

Blocking receive to call outside of asynchronous contexts.

§Panics

This function panics if called within an asynchronous execution context.

§Examples

use std::thread;
use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel::<u8>();

    let sync_code = thread::spawn(move || {
        assert_eq!(Some(10), rx.blocking_recv());
    });

    let _ = tx.send(10);
    sync_code.join().unwrap();
}

source

pub fn blocking_recv_many(&mut self, buffer: &mut Vec<T>, limit: usize) -> usize

Variant of Self::recv_many for blocking contexts.

The same conditions as in Self::blocking_recv apply.

source

pub fn close(&mut self)

Closes the receiving half of a channel, without dropping it.

This prevents any further messages from being sent on the channel while still enabling the receiver to drain messages that are buffered.

To guarantee that no messages are dropped, after calling close(), recv() must be called until None is returned.

source

pub fn is_closed(&self) -> bool

Checks if a channel is closed.

This method returns true if the channel has been closed. The channel is closed when all UnboundedSender have been dropped, or when UnboundedReceiver::close is called.

§Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (_tx, mut rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel::<()>();
    assert!(!rx.is_closed());

    rx.close();

    assert!(rx.is_closed());
}

source

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Checks if a channel is empty.

This method returns true if the channel has no messages.

§Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();
    assert!(rx.is_empty());

    tx.send(0).unwrap();
    assert!(!rx.is_empty());
}

source

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of messages in the channel.

§Examples

use tokio::sync::mpsc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel();
    assert_eq!(0, rx.len());

    tx.send(0).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(1, rx.len());
}

source

pub fn poll_recv(&mut self, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Option<T>>

Polls to receive the next message on this channel.

This method returns:

Poll::Pending if no messages are available but the channel is not closed, or if a spurious failure happens.
Poll::Ready(Some(message)) if a message is available.
Poll::Ready(None) if the channel has been closed and all messages sent before it was closed have been received.

When the method returns Poll::Pending, the Waker in the provided Context is scheduled to receive a wakeup when a message is sent on any receiver, or when the channel is closed. Note that on multiple calls to poll_recv or poll_recv_many, only the Waker from the Context passed to the most recent call is scheduled to receive a wakeup.

If this method returns Poll::Pending due to a spurious failure, then the Waker will be notified when the situation causing the spurious failure has been resolved. Note that receiving such a wakeup does not guarantee that the next call will succeed — it could fail with another spurious failure.

source

pub fn poll_recv_many( &mut self, cx: &mut Context<'_>, buffer: &mut Vec<T>, limit: usize, ) -> Poll<usize>

Polls to receive multiple messages on this channel, extending the provided buffer.

This method returns:

Poll::Pending if no messages are available but the channel is not closed, or if a spurious failure happens.
Poll::Ready(count) where count is the number of messages successfully received and stored in buffer. This can be less than, or equal to, limit.
Poll::Ready(0) if limit is set to zero or when the channel is closed.

When the method returns Poll::Pending, the Waker in the provided Context is scheduled to receive a wakeup when a message is sent on any receiver, or when the channel is closed. Note that on multiple calls to poll_recv or poll_recv_many, only the Waker from the Context passed to the most recent call is scheduled to receive a wakeup.

Note that this method does not guarantee that exactly limit messages are received. Rather, if at least one message is available, it returns as many messages as it can up to the given limit. This method returns zero only if the channel is closed (or if limit is zero).

§Examples

use std::task::{Context, Poll};
use std::pin::Pin;
use tokio::sync::mpsc;
use futures::Future;

struct MyReceiverFuture<'a> {
    receiver: mpsc::UnboundedReceiver<i32>,
    buffer: &'a mut Vec<i32>,
    limit: usize,
}

impl<'a> Future for MyReceiverFuture<'a> {
    type Output = usize; // Number of messages received

    fn poll(mut self: Pin<&mut Self>, cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Self::Output> {
        let MyReceiverFuture { receiver, buffer, limit } = &mut *self;

        // Now `receiver` and `buffer` are mutable references, and `limit` is copied
        match receiver.poll_recv_many(cx, *buffer, *limit) {
            Poll::Pending => Poll::Pending,
            Poll::Ready(count) => Poll::Ready(count),
        }
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, rx) = mpsc::unbounded_channel::<i32>();
    let mut buffer = Vec::new();

    let my_receiver_future = MyReceiverFuture {
        receiver: rx,
        buffer: &mut buffer,
        limit: 3,
    };

    for i in 0..10 {
        tx.send(i).expect("Unable to send integer");
    }

    let count = my_receiver_future.await;
    assert_eq!(count, 3);
    assert_eq!(buffer, vec![0,1,2])
}
