8// Cancellation mechanism for long-running tasks.
9//
10// This manages interactions between:
11//
12// 1. Client code that starts some long-running work, and maybe cancels later.
13//
14// std::pair<Context, Canceler> Task = cancelableTask();
15// {
16// WithContext Cancelable(std::move(Task.first));
17// Expected
18// deepThoughtAsync([](int answer){ errs() << answer; });
19// }
20// // ...some time later...
21// if (User.fellAsleep())
22// Task.second();
23//
24// (This example has an asynchronous computation, but synchronous examples
25// work similarly - the Canceler should be invoked from another thread).
26//
27// 2. Library code that executes long-running work, and can exit early if the
28// result is not needed.
29//
30// void deepThoughtAsync(std::function<void(int)> Callback) {
31// runAsync([Callback]{
32// int A = ponder(6);
33// if (isCancelled())
34// return;
35// int B = ponder(9);
36// if (isCancelled())
37// return;
38// Callback(A * B);
39// });
40// }
41//
42// (A real example may invoke the callback with an error on cancellation,
43// the CancelledError is provided for this purpose).
44//
45// Cancellation has some caveats:
46// - the work will only stop when/if the library code next checks for it.
47// Code outside clangd such as Sema will not do this.
48// - it's inherently racy: client code must be prepared to accept results
49// even after requesting cancellation.
50// - it's Context-based, so async work must be dispatched to threads in
51// ways that preserve the context. (Like runAsync() or TUScheduler).
52//
53// FIXME: We could add timestamps to isCancelled() and CancelledError.
54// Measuring the start -> cancel -> acknowledge -> finish timeline would
55// help find where libraries' cancellation should be improved.
