//! Minimal and reusable non-blocking I/O layer
//!
//! The ultimate goal of this crate is *code reuse*. With this crate you can
//! write *core* I/O APIs that can then be adapted to operate in either blocking
//! or non-blocking manner. Furthermore those APIs are not tied to a particular
//! asynchronous model and can be adapted to work with the `futures` model or
//! with the `async` / `await` model.
//!
//! # Core idea
//!
//! The [`WouldBlock`](enum.Error.html) error variant signals that the operation
//! can't be completed *right now* and would need to block to complete.
//! [`WouldBlock`](enum.Error.html) is a special error in the sense that's not
//! *fatal*; the operation can still be completed by retrying again later.
//!
//! [`nb::Result`](type.Result.html) is based on the API of
//! [`std::io::Result`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/type.Result.html),
//! which has a `WouldBlock` variant in its
//! [`ErrorKind`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/enum.ErrorKind.html).
//!
//! We can map [`WouldBlock`](enum.Error.html) to different blocking and
//! non-blocking models:
//!
//! - In blocking mode: [`WouldBlock`](enum.Error.html) means try again right
//! now (i.e. busy wait)
//! - In `futures` mode: [`WouldBlock`](enum.Error.html) means
//! [`Async::NotReady`](https://docs.rs/futures)
//! - In `await` mode: [`WouldBlock`](enum.Error.html) means `yield`
//! (suspend the generator)
//!
//! # How to use this crate
//!
//! Application specific errors can be put inside the `Other` variant in the
//! [`nb::Error`](enum.Error.html) enum.
//!
//! So in your API instead of returning `Result<T, MyError>` return
//! `nb::Result<T, MyError>`
//!
//! ```
//! enum MyError {
//! ThisError,
//! ThatError,
//! // ..
//! }
//!
//! // This is a blocking function, so it returns a normal `Result`
//! fn before() -> Result<(), MyError> {
//! // ..
//! # Ok(())
//! }
//!
//! // This is now a potentially (read: *non*) blocking function so it returns `nb::Result`
//! // instead of blocking
//! fn after() -> nb::Result<(), MyError> {
//! // ..
//! # Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! You can use `Infallible` to signal that some API has no fatal
//! errors but may block:
//!
//! ```
//! use core::convert::Infallible;
//!
//! // This returns `Ok(())` or `Err(nb::Error::WouldBlock)`
//! fn maybe_blocking_api() -> nb::Result<(), Infallible> {
//! // ..
//! # Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Once your API uses [`nb::Result`] you can leverage the [`block!`], macro
//! to adapt it for blocking operation, or handle scheduling yourself.
//!
//! [`block!`]: macro.block.html
//! [`nb::Result`]: type.Result.html
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ## A Core I/O API
//!
//! Imagine the code (crate) below represents a Hardware Abstraction Layer for some microcontroller
//! (or microcontroller family).
//!
//! *In this and the following examples let's assume for simplicity that peripherals are treated
//! as global singletons and that no preemption is possible (i.e. interrupts are disabled).*
//!
//! ```
//! # use core::convert::Infallible;
//! // This is the `hal` crate
//! use nb;
//!
//! /// An LED
//! pub struct Led;
//!
//! impl Led {
//! pub fn off(&self) {
//! // ..
//! }
//! pub fn on(&self) {
//! // ..
//! }
//! }
//!
//! /// Serial interface
//! pub struct Serial;
//! pub enum Error {
//! Overrun,
//! // ..
//! }
//!
//! impl Serial {
//! /// Reads a single byte from the serial interface
//! pub fn read(&self) -> nb::Result<u8, Error> {
//! // ..
//! # Ok(0)
//! }
//!
//! /// Writes a single byte to the serial interface
//! pub fn write(&self, byte: u8) -> nb::Result<(), Error> {
//! // ..
//! # Ok(())
//! }
//! }
//!
//! /// A timer used for timeouts
//! pub struct Timer;
//!
//! impl Timer {
//! /// Waits until the timer times out
//! pub fn wait(&self) -> nb::Result<(), Infallible> {
//! //^ NOTE the `Infallible` indicates that this operation can block but has no
//! // other form of error
//!
//! // ..
//! # Ok(())
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Blocking mode
//!
//! Turn on an LED for one second and *then* loops back serial data.
//!
//! ```
//! use core::convert::Infallible;
//! use nb::block;
//!
//! use hal::{Led, Serial, Timer};
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Infallible> {
//! // Turn the LED on for one second
//! Led.on();
//! block!(Timer.wait())?;
//! Led.off();
//!
//! // Serial interface loopback
//! # return Ok(());
//! loop {
//! let byte = block!(Serial.read())?;
//! block!(Serial.write(byte))?;
//! }
//! # }
//!
//! # mod hal {
//! # use nb;
//! # use core::convert::Infallible;
//! # pub struct Led;
//! # impl Led {
//! # pub fn off(&self) {}
//! # pub fn on(&self) {}
//! # }
//! # pub struct Serial;
//! # impl Serial {
//! # pub fn read(&self) -> nb::Result<u8, Infallible> { Ok(0) }
//! # pub fn write(&self, _: u8) -> nb::Result<(), Infallible> { Ok(()) }
//! # }
//! # pub struct Timer;
//! # impl Timer {
//! # pub fn wait(&self) -> nb::Result<(), Infallible> { Ok(()) }
//! # }
//! # }
//! ```
