/**
 * Creates an instance of an unconfined [TestDispatcher].
 *
 * This dispatcher is similar to [Dispatchers.Unconfined]: the tasks that it executes are not confined to any particular
 * thread and form an event loop; it's different in that it skips delays, as all [TestDispatcher]s do.
 *
 * Like [Dispatchers.Unconfined], this one does not provide guarantees about the execution order when several coroutines
 * are queued in this dispatcher. However, we ensure that the [launch] and [async] blocks at the top level of [runTest]
 * are entered eagerly. This allows launching child coroutines and not calling [runCurrent] for them to start executing.
 *
 * ```
 * @Test
 * fun testEagerlyEnteringChildCoroutines() = runTest(UnconfinedTestDispatcher()) {
 *     var entered = false
 *     val deferred = CompletableDeferred()
 *     var completed = false
 *     launch {
 *         entered = true
 *         deferred.await()
 *         completed = true
 *     }
 *     assertTrue(entered) // `entered = true` already executed.
 *     assertFalse(completed) // however, the child coroutine then suspended, so it is enqueued.
 *     deferred.complete(Unit) // resume the coroutine.
 *     assertTrue(completed) // now the child coroutine is immediately completed.
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * Using this [TestDispatcher] can greatly simplify writing tests where it's not important which thread is used when and
 * in which order the queued coroutines are executed.
 * Another typical use case for this dispatcher is launching child coroutines that are resumed immediately, without
 * going through a dispatch; this can be helpful for testing [Channel] and [StateFlow] usages.
 *
 * ```
 * @Test
 * fun testUnconfinedDispatcher() = runTest {
 *     val values = mutableListOf()
 *     val stateFlow = MutableStateFlow(0)
 *     val job = launch(UnconfinedTestDispatcher(testScheduler)) {
 *         stateFlow.collect {
 *             values.add(it)
 *         }
 *     }
 *     stateFlow.value = 1
 *     stateFlow.value = 2
 *     stateFlow.value = 3
 *     job.cancel()
 *     // each assignment will immediately resume the collecting child coroutine,
 *     // so no values will be skipped.
 *     assertEquals(listOf(0, 1, 2, 3), values)
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * Please be aware that, like [Dispatchers.Unconfined], this is a specific dispatcher with execution order
 * guarantees that are unusual and not shared by most other dispatchers, so it can only be used reliably for testing
 * functionality, not the specific order of actions.
 * See [Dispatchers.Unconfined] for a discussion of the execution order guarantees.
 *
 * In order to support delay skipping, this dispatcher is linked to a [TestCoroutineScheduler], which is used to control
 * the virtual time and can be shared among many test dispatchers.
 * If no [scheduler] is passed as an argument, [Dispatchers.Main] is checked, and if it was mocked with a
 * [TestDispatcher] via [Dispatchers.setMain], the [TestDispatcher.scheduler] of the mock dispatcher is used; if
 * [Dispatchers.Main] is not mocked with a [TestDispatcher], a new [TestCoroutineScheduler] is created.
 *
 * Additionally, [name] can be set to distinguish each dispatcher instance when debugging.
 *
 * @see StandardTestDispatcher for a more predictable [TestDispatcher].

/**
 * Creates an instance of a [TestDispatcher] whose tasks are run inside calls to the [scheduler].
 *
 * This [TestDispatcher] instance does not itself execute any of the tasks. Instead, it always sends them to its
 * [scheduler], which can then be accessed via [TestCoroutineScheduler.runCurrent],
 * [TestCoroutineScheduler.advanceUntilIdle], or [TestCoroutineScheduler.advanceTimeBy], which will then execute these
 * tasks in a blocking manner.
 *
 * In practice, this means that [launch] or [async] blocks will not be entered immediately (unless they are
 * parameterized with [CoroutineStart.UNDISPATCHED]), and one should either call [TestCoroutineScheduler.runCurrent] to
 * run these pending tasks, which will block until there are no more tasks scheduled at this point in time, or, when
 * inside [runTest], call [yield] to yield the (only) thread used by [runTest] to the newly-launched coroutines.
 *
 * If no [scheduler] is passed as an argument, [Dispatchers.Main] is checked, and if it was mocked with a
 * [TestDispatcher] via [Dispatchers.setMain], the [TestDispatcher.scheduler] of the mock dispatcher is used; if
 * [Dispatchers.Main] is not mocked with a [TestDispatcher], a new [TestCoroutineScheduler] is created.
 *
 * One can additionally pass a [name] in order to more easily distinguish this dispatcher during debugging.
 *
 * @see UnconfinedTestDispatcher for a dispatcher that is not confined to any particular thread.
