<p>In general, issuing a blocking call or performing a lot of compute in a
future without yielding is problematic, as it may prevent the executor from
driving other futures forward. This function runs the provided closure on a
thread dedicated to blocking operations. See the <a href="../index.html#cpu-bound-tasks-and-blocking-code">CPU-bound tasks and
blocking code</a> section for more information.</p>
<p>Tokio will spawn more blocking threads when they are requested through this
function until the upper limit configured on the <a href="../runtime/struct.Builder.html"><code>Builder</code></a> is reached.
After reaching the upper limit, the tasks are put in a queue.
The thread limit is very large by default, because <code>spawn_blocking</code> is often
used for various kinds of IO operations that cannot be performed
asynchronously. When you run CPU-bound code using <code>spawn_blocking</code>, you
should keep this large upper limit in mind. When running many CPU-bound
computations, a semaphore or some other synchronization primitive should be
used to limit the number of computation executed in parallel. Specialized
CPU-bound executors, such as <a href="https://docs.rs/rayon">rayon</a>, may also be a good fit.</p>
<p>This function is intended for non-async operations that eventually finish on
their own. If you want to spawn an ordinary thread, you should use
<a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.59.0/std/thread/fn.spawn.html"><code>thread::spawn</code></a> instead.</p>
<p>Closures spawned using <code>spawn_blocking</code> cannot be cancelled. When you shut
down the executor, it will wait indefinitely for all blocking operations to
finish. You can use <a href="../runtime/struct.Runtime.html#method.shutdown_timeout"><code>shutdown_timeout</code></a> to stop waiting for them after a
certain timeout. Be aware that this will still not cancel the tasks — they
are simply allowed to keep running after the method returns.</p>
<p>Note that if you are using the single threaded runtime, this function will
still spawn additional threads for blocking operations. The basic
schedulers single thread is only used for asynchronous code.</p>
<h2 id="related-apis-and-patterns-for-bridging-asynchronous-and-blocking-code" class="section-header"><a href="#related-apis-and-patterns-for-bridging-asynchronous-and-blocking-code">Related APIs and patterns for bridging asynchronous and blocking code</a></h2>
<p>In simple cases, it is sufficient to have the closure accept input
parameters at creation time and return a single value (or struct/tuple, etc.).</p>
<p>For more complex situations in which it is desirable to stream data to or from
the synchronous context, the <a href="crate::sync::mpsc"><code>mpsc channel</code></a> has <code>blocking_send</code> and
<code>blocking_recv</code> methods for use in non-async code such as the thread created
by <code>spawn_blocking</code>.</p>
<p>Another option is <a href="https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.6/tokio_util/io/struct.SyncIoBridge.html"><code>SyncIoBridge</code></a> for cases where the synchronous context
is operating on byte streams. For example, you might use an asynchronous
HTTP client such as <a href="https://docs.rs/hyper">hyper</a> to fetch data, but perform complex parsing
of the payload body using a library written for synchronous I/O.</p>
<p>Finally, see also <a href="https://tokio.rs/tokio/topics/bridging">Bridging with sync code</a> for discussions
around the opposite case of using Tokio as part of a larger synchronous
codebase.</p>
