AsyncDrop Pattern Guide

The AsyncDrop pattern enables async cleanup for types that hold resources requiring asynchronous teardown (network connections, file handles, background tasks, etc.).

Core Concept

Rust's Drop trait is synchronous, but sometimes cleanup needs to be async. The AsyncDrop pattern solves this by:

  1. •Wrapping values in AsyncDropGuard<T>
  2. •Requiring explicit async_drop().await calls
  3. •Panicking if cleanup is forgotten

Quick Reference

rust
// Creating
let mut guard = AsyncDropGuard::new(my_value);

// Using (transparent via Deref)
guard.do_something();

// Cleanup (REQUIRED before dropping)
guard.async_drop().await?;

The AsyncDrop Trait

rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait AsyncDrop {
    type Error: Debug;
    async fn async_drop_impl(&mut self) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;
}

Essential Rules

RuleDescription
Always call async_drop()Every AsyncDropGuard must have async_drop() called
Factory methods return guardsfn new() -> AsyncDropGuard<Self>, never plain Self
Types with guard members impl AsyncDropDelegate to member async_drops
Use the macro when possiblewith_async_drop_2! handles cleanup automatically
Panics are exceptionsIt's OK to skip async_drop on panic paths

The with_async_drop_2! Macro

Automatically calls async_drop() on scope exit:

rust
let resource = get_resource().await?;
with_async_drop_2!(resource, {
    // Use resource here
    resource.do_work().await?;
    Ok(result)
})
