Markk116 feda6517e5 docs(channel): user-facing rewrite of the MPSC channel primitive
Lead with what a channel is and how to use it (compiling doctest for
channel()/send/recv/close), before any internal rationale. Document
every previously-undocumented public item (channel(), Sender, Receiver,
SendError, RecvError). Move the RawMutex-vs-std::sync::Mutex rationale
and lock-class discipline into an Implementation notes section. Drop
em-dashes throughout.

//! Unbounded multi-producer, single-consumer channels: how actors talk to
//! each other.
//!
//! A channel is a queue with a typed [`Sender`] on one end and a typed
//! [`Receiver`] on the other. Any number of actors can hold a clone of the
//! `Sender` and push messages onto the same queue; exactly one [`Receiver`]
//! reads them back out, in the order they arrived. This is the basic wiring
//! smarm's other actor primitives (`gen_server`, `pg`, the registry) are all
//! built out of, and it is directly usable on its own for a worker that just
//! needs an inbox.
//!
//! ## A first channel
//!
//! ```
//! use smarm::{channel, run, spawn};
//!
//! run(|| {
//! let (tx, rx) = channel::<u64>();
//!
//! let worker = spawn(move || {
//! // Blocks until a message arrives.
//! let n = rx.recv().unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(n, 42);
//!
//! // Once every Sender is dropped, recv() reports the channel closed
//! // instead of blocking forever.
//! assert!(rx.recv().is_err());
//! });
//!
//! tx.send(42).unwrap();
//! drop(tx); // last sender gone: the channel is now closed
//! worker.join().unwrap();
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! ## Sending
//!
//! [`Sender`] is cheaply clonable: hand a clone to every actor that needs to
//! push messages into this queue. The channel stays open as long as at least
//! one clone exists; [`Sender::send`] never blocks and always succeeds while
//! the channel is open, since the queue is unbounded. Once the [`Receiver`]
//! has been dropped, `send` returns the message back to you in
//! [`SendError`] instead of delivering it.
//!
//! ## Receiving
//!
//! There is exactly one [`Receiver`] per channel (it is not clonable).
//! [`Receiver::recv`] returns the next message in arrival order, parking the
//! calling actor if the queue is currently empty. Once every `Sender` has
//! been dropped and the queue has been drained, `recv` stops parking and
//! returns [`RecvError`] instead, so a receiver never blocks forever waiting
//! on senders that are never coming back.
//!
//! Beyond plain `recv`, three variants cover the common needs:
//!
//! - [`Receiver::try_recv`]: never parks: reports an empty-but-open channel
//! as `Ok(None)` instead of waiting.
//! - [`Receiver::recv_timeout`]: parks, but gives up and returns
//! [`RecvTimeoutError::Timeout`] if no message arrives before a deadline.
//! - [`Receiver::recv_match`] / [`Receiver::try_recv_match`]: selective
//! receive. Instead of taking whatever is at the front of the queue, pick
//! out the first message matching a predicate, leaving the rest queued in
//! order. Handy for an actor that wants to prioritise one kind of message
//! over others already waiting.
//!
//! ## Waiting on several channels: `select`
//!
//! [`select`] parks an actor across several receivers at once and reports
//! the index of the first one that is ready (has a message queued, or has
//! been closed). [`select_timeout`] adds a deadline, the way `recv_timeout`
//! does for a single channel. See their docs for the full contract,
//! including the priority-order and no-fairness guarantee.
//!
//! ## Implementation notes
//!
//! The queue and its bookkeeping live behind `Arc<RawMutex<Inner<T>>>`
//! rather than a `std::sync::Mutex`, so that a channel can be freely shared
//! and sent across the OS threads backing the multi-scheduler runtime.
//! `RawMutex` matters here for a subtler reason too: an ordinary pthread
//! mutex can be released from a different OS thread than the one that took
//! it (smarm's preemption can migrate a timesliced actor between scheduler
//! threads mid-critical-section), and doing that to a `std::sync::Mutex` is
//! undefined behavior. `RawMutex` disables preemption for the guard's short
//! lifetime instead, so the release always happens on the thread that
//! acquired it, and it has no poisoning to worry about besides. Channel
//! locks are cheap and are never held across another lock acquisition or a
//! blocking call; the predicate passed to `recv_match` runs under this lock,
//! which is why it needs to stay cheap, pure, and must not call back into
//! the same channel.
