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.
