 @predrag @jyn let's say you're traversing a Merkle linked list (in this case a chain of source control commits) to fold over them recursively -- if you just create a child future with the recursive call then await it, your task stack will grow in an unbounded fashion. If you spawn a new task for each node instead, this isn't an issue @predrag @jyn Good question! This is best modeled by a oneshot channel: https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/sync/oneshot/index.html |
@predrag @jyn Oh well, if you just await on a (boxed) child future you'll end up with an arbitrary-depth pointer stack -- so you need to go up to the top every so often
(We're talking 10 million+ depth)
