All rights reserved. 2 // Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style 3 // license that can be found in the LICENSE file. 4 5 // Package context defines the Context type, which carries deadlines, 6 // cancelation signals, and other request-scoped values across API boundaries 7 // and between processes. 8 // 9 // Incoming requests to a server should create a Context, and outgoing 10 // calls to servers should accept a Context. The chain of function 11 // calls between them must propagate the Context, optionally replacing 12 // it with a derived Context created using WithCancel, WithDeadline, 13 // WithTimeout, or WithValue. When a Context is canceled, all 14 // Contexts derived from it are also canceled. 15 // 16 // The WithCancel, WithDeadline, and WithTimeout functions take a 17 // Context (the parent) and return a derived Context (the child) and a 18 // CancelFunc. Calling the CancelFunc cancels the child and its 19 // children, removes the parent's reference to the child, and stops 20 // any associated timers. Failing to call the CancelFunc leaks the 21 // child and its children until the parent is canceled or the timer 22 // fires. The go vet tool checks that CancelFuncs are used on all 23 // control-flow paths. 24 // 25 // Programs that use Contexts should follow these rules to keep interfaces 26 // consistent across packages and enable static analysis tools to check context 27 // propagation: 28 // 29 // Do not store Contexts inside a struct type; instead, pass a Context 30 // explicitly to each function that needs it. The Context should be the first 31 // parameter, typically named ctx: 32 // 33 // func DoSomething(ctx context.Context, arg Arg) error { 34 // // ... use ctx ... 35 // } 36 // 37 // Do not pass a nil Context, even if a function permits it. Pass context.TODO 38 // if you are unsure about which Context to use. 39 // 40 // Use context Values only for request-scoped data that transits processes and 41 // APIs, not for passing optional parameters to functions. 42 // 43 // The same Context may be passed to functions running in different goroutines; 44 // Contexts are safe for simultaneous use by multiple goroutines. 45 // 46 // See https://blog.golang.org/context for example code for a server that uses 47 // Contexts. 48 package context 49 50 import ( 51 "errors" 52 "fmt" 53 "reflect" 54 "sync" 55 "time" 56 ) 57 58 // A Context carries a deadline, a cancelation signal, and other values across 59 // API boundaries. 60 // 61 // Context's methods may be called by multiple goroutines simultaneously. 62 type Context interface { 63 // Deadline returns the time when work done on behalf of this context 64 // should be canceled.
