Function work_queue::work_queue

pub fn work_queue<W, K, C>(
    concurrency: usize,
    work_fn: W
) -> (WorkQueue<W, K, C>, WorkSender<K, C, <W::Future as Future>::Output>)
where
    W: Work<K, C>,
    K: Clone + Eq + Hash,
    C: TryMerge,

Creates an unbounded queue of work tasks that will execute up to concurrency workers at once.

Examples
