the future as notifications arrive, until the future terminates.</p>

<p>It's typically guaranteed that, after calling <code>notify</code>, <code>poll</code> will
be called at least once subsequently (unless the future has terminated).

must poll the future <em>again</em> afterwards, ensuring that all relevant

</div></div><div class='docblock'><p>Returns <code>true</code> when called from within the context of the task.</p>
<p>In other words, the task is currently running on the thread calling the
function. Note that this is currently, and has historically, been
implemented by tracking an <code>id</code> on every instance of <code>Spawn</code> created.
When a <code>Spawn</code> is being polled it stores in thread-local-storage the id
of the instance, and then <code>task::current</code> will return a <code>Task</code> that also
stores this id.</p>
<p>The intention of this function was to answer questions like &quot;if I
<code>notify</code> this task, is it equivalent to <code>task::current().notify()</code>?&quot;
The answer &quot;yes&quot; may be able to avoid some extra work to block the
current task, such as sending a task along a channel or updating a
stored <code>Task</code> somewhere. An answer of &quot;no&quot; typically results in doing
the work anyway.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this function has been somewhat buggy in the past and is
not intended to be supported in the future. By simply matching <code>id</code> the
intended question above isn't accurately taking into account, for
example, unpark events (now deprecated, but still a feature). Thus many
old users of this API weren't fully accounting for the question it was
intended they were asking.</p>
<p>This API continues to be implemented but will in the future, e.g. in the
0.1.x series of this crate, eventually return <code>false</code> unconditionally.
It is intended that this function will be removed in the next breaking
change of this crate. If you'd like to continue to be able to answer the
example question above, it's recommended you use the
<code>will_notify_current</code> method.</p>
<p>If you've got questions about this though please let us know! We'd like
to learn about other use cases here that we did not consider.</p>

<div class='docblock'><p>This function is intended as a performance optimization for structures
which store a <code>Task</code> internally.</p>
<p>The purpose of this function is to answer the question &quot;if I <code>notify</code>
this task is it equivalent to <code>task::current().notify()</code>&quot;. An answer
&quot;yes&quot; may mean that you don't actually need to call <code>task::current()</code>
and store it, but rather you can simply leave a stored task in place. An
answer of &quot;no&quot; typically means that you need to call <code>task::current()</code>
and store it somewhere.</p>
<p>As this is purely a performance optimization a valid implementation for
this function is to always return <code>false</code>. A best effort is done to
return <code>true</code> where possible, but false negatives may happen. Note that
this function will not return a false positive, however.</p>
