| for the future that finishes first. Unlike <a href="macro.select.html"><code>select!</code></a>, if multiple futures are ready, |
| one will be selected in order of declaration. Futures directly |
| passed to <code>select_biased!</code> must be <code>Unpin</code> and implement <code>FusedFuture</code>.</p> |
| <p>If an expression which yields a <code>Future</code> is passed to <code>select_biased!</code> |
| (e.g. an <code>async fn</code> call) instead of a <code>Future</code> by name the <code>Unpin</code> |
| requirement is relaxed, since the macro will pin the resulting <code>Future</code> |
| on the stack. However the <code>Future</code> returned by the expression must |
| still implement <code>FusedFuture</code>.</p> |
| <p>Futures and streams which are not already fused can be fused using the |
| <code>.fuse()</code> method. Note, though, that fusing a future or stream directly |
| in the call to <code>select_biased!</code> will not be enough to prevent it from being |
| polled after completion if the <code>select_biased!</code> call is in a loop, so when |
| <code>select_biased!</code>ing in a loop, users should take care to <code>fuse()</code> outside of |
| the loop.</p> |
| <p><code>select_biased!</code> can be used as an expression and will return the return |
| value of the selected branch. For this reason the return type of every |
| branch in a <code>select_biased!</code> must be the same.</p> |
| <p>This macro is only usable inside of async functions, closures, and blocks. |
| It is also gated behind the <code>async-await</code> feature of this library, which is |
| activated by default.</p> |

| <p>As described earlier, <code>select_biased</code> can directly select on expressions |
| which return <code>Future</code>s - even if those do not implement <code>Unpin</code>:</p> |
| |
| <div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>futures::future::FutureExt; |

| <p>If a similar async function is called outside of <code>select_biased</code> to produce |
| a <code>Future</code>, the <code>Future</code> must be pinned in order to be able to pass |
| it to <code>select_biased</code>. This can be achieved via <code>Box::pin</code> for pinning a |
| <code>Future</code> on the heap or the <code>pin_mut!</code> macro for pinning a <code>Future</code> |
| on the stack.</p> |

| <p><code>select_biased</code> also accepts a <code>complete</code> branch and a <code>default</code> branch. |
| <code>complete</code> will run if all futures and streams have already been |
| exhausted. <code>default</code> will run if no futures or streams are |
| immediately ready. <code>complete</code> takes priority over <code>default</code> in |
| the case where all futures have completed. |
| A motivating use-case for passing <code>Future</code>s by name as well as for |
| <code>complete</code> blocks is to call <code>select_biased!</code> in a loop, which is |
| demonstrated in the following example:</p> |
| |
| <div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>futures::future; |
| <span class="kw">use </span>futures::select_biased; |
| <span class="kw">let </span><span class="kw-2">mut </span>a_fut = future::ready(<span class="number">4</span>); |
| <span class="kw">let </span><span class="kw-2">mut </span>b_fut = future::ready(<span class="number">6</span>); |
| <span class="kw">let </span><span class="kw-2">mut </span>total = <span class="number">0</span>; |
| |
| <span class="kw">loop </span>{ |
| <span class="macro">select_biased! </span>{ |
| a = a_fut => total += a, |
| b = b_fut => total += b, |
| complete => <span class="kw">break</span>, |
| default => <span class="macro">panic!</span>(), <span class="comment">// never runs (futures run first, then complete) |
| </span>}; |
| } |
| <span class="macro">assert_eq!</span>(total, <span class="number">10</span>);</code></pre></div> |
| <p>Note that the futures that have been matched over can still be mutated |
| from inside the <code>select_biased!</code> block’s branches. This can be used to implement |
| more complex behavior such as timer resets or writing into the head of |
| a stream.</p> |
