Is crossbeam::epoch async-capable?

help
1

I've played with crossbeam::epoch the other day and I've got impression that it does not play nicely with async/await because epoch is connected to a thread being in some epoch. With async, it becomes not possible to tell anymore that certain thread is in a certain epoch, or an "active" thread.

So, questions:

  • Am I right about crossbeam::epoch working only with threads but not with async/futures?
  • Would it be possible to implement epoch for Futures?
  • Generally speaking, what is the landscape of lock-free structures in Rust as of today, and is there anything working with async/futures? Are there any ideas/work in progress/complete projects?
