// Cancellation mechanism for long-running tasks.
//
// This manages interactions between:
//
// 1. Client code that starts some long-running work, and maybe cancels later.
//
// std::pair<Context, Canceler> Task = cancelableTask();
// {
// WithContext Cancelable(std::move(Task.first));
// Expected
// deepThoughtAsync([](int answer){ errs() << answer; });
// }
// // ...some time later...
// if (User.fellAsleep())
// Task.second();
//
// (This example has an asynchronous computation, but synchronous examples
// work similarly - the Canceler should be invoked from another thread).
//
// 2. Library code that executes long-running work, and can exit early if the
// result is not needed.
//
// void deepThoughtAsync(std::function<void(int)> Callback) {
// runAsync([Callback]{
// int A = ponder(6);
// if (isCancelled())
// return;
// int B = ponder(9);
// if (isCancelled())
// return;
// Callback(A * B);
// });
// }
//
// (A real example may invoke the callback with an error on cancellation,
// the CancelledError is provided for this purpose).
//
// Cancellation has some caveats:
// - the work will only stop when/if the library code next checks for it.
// Code outside clangd such as Sema will not do this.
// - it's inherently racy: client code must be prepared to accept results
// even after requesting cancellation.
// - it's Context-based, so async work must be dispatched to threads in
// ways that preserve the context. (Like runAsync() or TUScheduler).
//
// FIXME: We could add timestamps to isCancelled() and CancelledError.
// Measuring the start -> cancel -> acknowledge -> finish timeline would
// help find where libraries' cancellation should be improved.
