A barrier enables multiple tasks to synchronize the beginning of some computation.

# #[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
# async fn main() {
use tokio::sync::Barrier;
use std::sync::Arc;

let mut handles = Vec::with_capacity(10);
let barrier = Arc::new(Barrier::new(10));
for _ in 0..10 {
    let c = barrier.clone();
    // The same messages will be printed together.
    // You will NOT see any interleaving.
    handles.push(tokio::spawn(async move {
        println!("before wait");
        let wait_result = c.wait().await;
        println!("after wait");
        wait_result
    }));
}

// Will not resolve until all "after wait" messages have been printed
let mut num_leaders = 0;
for handle in handles {
    let wait_result = handle.await.unwrap();
    if wait_result.is_leader() {
        num_leaders += 1;
    }
}

// Exactly one barrier will resolve as the "leader"
assert_eq!(num_leaders, 1);
# }
