When using Vala’s async methods with a GCancellable to implement a timeout, the cancellation check occurs only at yield points ( await statements). If the async method contains a long-running synchronous loop or computation, firing the timeout source will set the cancellable flag, but the method cannot be interrupted until it reaches the next yield point. Th
Async Cancellation Propagation In OCaml's Async library, Deferred.cancel is used to signal the cancellation of a deferred operation. While this mechanism notifies the immediate deferred and any awaiting code, the behavior regarding nested operations remains inconsistent. When a parent deferred spawns child deferreds to perform sub-tasks, it is unclear if the
Goal Determine whether a Vala async method resumes on the same thread-default GLib MainContext that started the call when several requests run concurrently, or whether resumption can move to another thread and create latency that appears only under load. Constraints and uncertainty Vala async methods compile to state machines driven by GLib main-loop primiti
