Client code that starts some long-running work, and maybe cancels later. // // std::pair 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 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. #ifndef LLVM_CLANG_TOOLS_EXTRA_CLANGD_CANCELLATION_H #define LLVM_CLANG_TOOLS_EXTRA_CLANGD_CANCELLATION_H #include "Context.h" #include "llvm/Support/Error.h" #include #include namespace clang { namespace clangd { /// A canceller requests cancellation of a task, when called. /// Calling it again has no effect. using Canceler = std::function; /// Defines a new task whose cancellation may be requested. /// The returned Context defines the scope of the task. /// When the context is active, isCancelled() is false until the Canceler is /// invoked, and true afterwards. std::pair cancelableTask(); /// True if the current context is within a cancelable task which was cancelled. /// Always false if there is no active cancelable task. /// This isn't free (context lookup) - don't call it in a tight loop. bool isCancelled(const Context &Ctx = Context::current()); /// Conventional error when no result is returned due to cancellation. class CancelledError : public llvm::ErrorInfo { public: static char ID; void log(llvm::raw_ostream &OS) const override { OS << "Task was cancelled."; } std::error_code convertToErrorCode() const override { return std::make_error_code(std::errc::operation_canceled); } }; } // namespace clangd } // namespace clang #endif
