Feature gate: #![feature(tcplistener_into_incoming)]

This is a tracking issue for #88339

The TcpListener::incoming method is really useful, however for some use cases the borrow it introduces is needlessly restricting. Thus, an owned variant is added.

Public API

// std::net

pub struct IntoIncoming;

impl Iterator<Item = io::Result<TcpStream>> for IntoIncoming;

impl TcpListener {
    pub fn into_incoming(self) -> IntoIncoming;
}

Steps / History

• Implementation: Add TcpListener::into_incoming and IntoIncoming #88339
• Final comment period (FCP)
• Stabilization PR

Unresolved Questions

• The IntoIncoming could provide methods that allow access to (or getting back) the TcpListener. I decided against it, but they could be added if there is a use case
• IMO the into_incoming method should return an opaque impl IntoIterator so that IntoIncoming is not public API, but that would be inconsistent with the rest of std.
