Is there API like python run_forever?

[ogios]

i want to spawn a backgroud runtime(current_thread) to resolve some events, the only usage is getting the handle and call spawn to create a task, the code will be much more simpler if we have run_forever

fn main() {
    static TASK_HANDLER: AtomicPtr<Handle> = AtomicPtr::new(std::ptr::null_mut());

    let (created, is_created) = oneshot::channel();

    std::thread::spawn(|| {
        let rt = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread()
            .enable_all()
            .build()
            .unwrap();

        TASK_HANDLER.store(
            Box::into_raw(Box::new(rt.handle().clone())),
            std::sync::atomic::Ordering::Relaxed,
        );

        created.send(());

        // this will block the thread until the runtime is closed
        rt.run_forever();
    });

    is_created.blocking_recv().unwrap();

    // ...

    // push tasks
    unsafe {
        TASK_HANDLER
            .load(std::sync::atomic::Ordering::Relaxed)
            .as_ref()
            .unwrap()
    }
    .spawn(async {
        //...
    });
}

You can use rt.block_on(std::future::pending())
