Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] rust: task: add `Send` marker to `Task`
Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 09:59:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230517095905.3548100-2-aliceryhl@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230517095905.3548100-1-aliceryhl@google.com>
When a type also implements `Sync`, the meaning of `Send` is just "this
type may be accessed mutably from threads other than the one it is
created on". That's ok for this type.

// SAFETY: It's OK to access `Task` through references from other threads because we're either

// synchronised by C code (e.g., `signal_pending`).
