'How to choose between block_in_place and spawn_blocking?
I'm working a lot with tokio and I've been using spawn_blocking for code that is going to block the thread. Then I saw the documentation for block_in_place and it seems like it's an unrestricted (Send, 'static) version of the former.
My question is, if I'm already on a threaded runtime, when is using block_in_place not advisable? What are the differences and advantages of each method of driving sync code? Can it be a problem if I block_in_place a lot, for example, in all my threads at the same time? How does it work?
I read all of the tokio documentation and didn't find the answer to these questions, so it felt right to ask here.
