macro_rules! try_join {
($($future:expr),*) => { ... };
}
Expand description
Waits on multiple concurrent branches, returning when all branches
complete with Ok(_)
or on the first Err(_)
.
The try_join!
macro must be used inside of async functions, closures, and
blocks.
Similar to join!
, the try_join!
macro takes a list of async
expressions and evaluates them concurrently on the same task. Each async
expression evaluates to a future and the futures from each expression are
multiplexed on the current task. The try_join!
macro returns when all
branches return with Ok
or when the first branch returns with Err
.
§Notes
The supplied futures are stored inline and do not require allocating a
Vec
.
§Runtime characteristics
By running all async expressions on the current task, the expressions are
able to run concurrently but not in parallel. This means all
expressions are run on the same thread and if one branch blocks the thread,
all other expressions will be unable to continue. If parallelism is
required, spawn each async expression using tokio::spawn
and pass the
join handle to try_join!
.
§Examples
Basic try_join
with two branches.
async fn do_stuff_async() -> Result<(), &'static str> {
// async work
}
async fn more_async_work() -> Result<(), &'static str> {
// more here
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let res = tokio::try_join!(
do_stuff_async(),
more_async_work());
match res {
Ok((first, second)) => {
// do something with the values
}
Err(err) => {
println!("processing failed; error = {}", err);
}
}
}
Using try_join!
with spawned tasks.
use tokio::task::JoinHandle;
async fn do_stuff_async() -> Result<(), &'static str> {
// async work
}
async fn more_async_work() -> Result<(), &'static str> {
// more here
}
async fn flatten<T>(handle: JoinHandle<Result<T, &'static str>>) -> Result<T, &'static str> {
match handle.await {
Ok(Ok(result)) => Ok(result),
Ok(Err(err)) => Err(err),
Err(err) => Err("handling failed"),
}
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let handle1 = tokio::spawn(do_stuff_async());
let handle2 = tokio::spawn(more_async_work());
match tokio::try_join!(flatten(handle1), flatten(handle2)) {
Ok(val) => {
// do something with the values
}
Err(err) => {
println!("Failed with {}.", err);
}
}
}
