Unwind safety about futures-intrusive

[Matthias247]

I can't really tell you what the message you are referering means.

Regarding unwind safety: The library assumes all of it's internals will never panic!. Therfore special unwind handling is not required. Since no unknown user-code is run as part of the library this is a reasonable assumption.

My understanding is that UnsafeCell is !RefUnwindSafe by default, and you must excplicitly mark your wrapper type, here GenericChannelSharedState, as RefUnwindSafe. See also rust-lang/rust#54768.

Would you accept a PR for marking your shared state structs unwind safe?

I'm afraid I can't really answer the question right now, since I'm not comfortable enough with the meaning of UnwindSafe and RefUnwindSafe, and what they cover. I would rather not add markers that e.g. claim something is safe that later on doesn't hold true.

If they are talking about unwindiding e.g. with a Channel on the stack, but due to a panic outside of futures-intrusive - that is ok and totally fine to do. A panic inside futures-intrusive however is not expected and all bets are off.

Can you tell me your use-case for this?

The UnsafeCell is in the RingBuffer implementations, so if something needs to be annotated it would probably be that one and not the SharedState things.
