8/// The interface for constructing [`Span`]s.
9///
10/// ## In Synchronous Code
11///
12/// Spans can be created and nested manually:
13///
14/// ```
15/// use opentelemetry::{global, trace::{Span, Tracer, TraceContextExt}, Context};
16///
17/// let tracer = global::tracer("my-component");
18///
19/// let parent = tracer.start("foo");
20/// let parent_cx = Context::current_with_span(parent);
21/// let mut child = tracer.start_with_context("bar", &parent_cx);
22///
23/// // ...
24///
25/// child.end(); // explicitly end
26/// drop(parent_cx) // or implicitly end on drop
27/// ```
28///
29/// Spans can also use the current thread's [`Context`] to track which span is active:
30///
31/// ```
32/// use opentelemetry::{global, trace::{SpanKind, Tracer}};
33///
34/// let tracer = global::tracer("my-component");
35///
36/// // Create simple spans with `in_span`
37/// tracer.in_span("foo", |_foo_cx| {
38/// // parent span is active
39/// tracer.in_span("bar", |_bar_cx| {
40/// // child span is now the active span and associated with the parent span
41/// });
42/// // child has ended, parent now the active span again
43/// });
44/// // parent has ended, no active spans
45/// ```
46///
47/// Spans can also be marked as active, and the resulting guard allows for
48/// greater control over when the span is no longer considered active.
49///
50/// ```
51/// use opentelemetry::{global, trace::{Span, Tracer, mark_span_as_active}};
52/// let tracer = global::tracer("my-component");
53///
54/// let parent_span = tracer.start("foo");
55/// let parent_active = mark_span_as_active(parent_span);
56///
57/// {
58/// let child = tracer.start("bar");
59/// let _child_active = mark_span_as_active(child);
60///
61/// // do work in the context of the child span...
62///
63/// // exiting the scope drops the guard, child is no longer active
64/// }
65/// // Parent is active span again
66///
67/// // Parent can be dropped manually, or allowed to go out of scope as well.
68/// drop(parent_active);
69///
70/// // no active span
71/// ```
72///
73/// ## In Asynchronous Code
74///
75/// If you are instrumenting code that make use of [`std::future::Future`] or
76/// async/await, be sure to use the [`FutureExt`] trait. This is needed because
77/// the following example _will not_ work:
78///
79/// ```no_run
80/// # use opentelemetry::{global, trace::{Tracer, mark_span_as_active}};
81/// # let tracer = global::tracer("foo");
82/// # let span = tracer.start("foo-span");
83/// async {
84/// // Does not work
85/// let _g = mark_span_as_active(span);
86/// // ...
87/// };
88/// ```
89///
90/// The context guard `_g` will not exit until the future generated by the
91/// `async` block is complete. Since futures can be entered and exited
92/// _multiple_ times without them completing, the span remains active for as
93/// long as the future exists, rather than only when it is polled, leading to
94/// very confusing and incorrect output.
95///
96/// In order to trace asynchronous code, the [`Future::with_context`] combinator
97/// can be used:
98///
99/// ```
100/// # async fn run() -> Result<(), ()> {
101/// use opentelemetry::{trace::FutureExt, Context};
102/// let cx = Context::current();
103///
104/// let my_future = async {
105/// // ...
106/// };
107///
108/// my_future
109/// .with_context(cx)
110/// .await;
111/// # Ok(())
112/// # }
113/// ```
114///
115/// [`Future::with_context`] attaches a context to the future, ensuring that the
116/// context's lifetime is as long as the future's.
