package scala.concurrent

/**
 * A context to be notified by `scala.concurrent.blocking` when
 * a thread is about to block. In effect this trait provides
 * the implementation for `scala.concurrent.Await`.
 * `scala.concurrent.Await.result()` and `scala.concurrent.Await.ready()`
 * locates an instance of `BlockContext` by first looking for one
 * provided through `BlockContext.withBlockContext()` and failing that,
 * checking whether `Thread.currentThread` is an instance of `BlockContext`.
 * So a thread pool can have its `java.lang.Thread` instances implement
 * `BlockContext`. There's a default `BlockContext` used if the thread
 * doesn't implement `BlockContext`.
 *
 * Typically, you'll want to chain to the previous `BlockContext`,
 * like this:
 * {{{
 *  val oldContext = BlockContext.current
 *  val myContext = new BlockContext {
 *    override def blockOn[T](thunk: =>T)(implicit permission: CanAwait): T = {
 *      // you'd have code here doing whatever you need to do
 *      // when the thread is about to block.
 *      // Then you'd chain to the previous context:
 *      oldContext.blockOn(thunk)
 *    }
 *  }
 *  BlockContext.withBlockContext(myContext) {
 *    // then this block runs with myContext as the handler
 *    // for scala.concurrent.blocking
 *  }
 *  }}}

trait BlockContext {

  /** Used internally by the framework;
   * Designates (and eventually executes) a thunk which potentially blocks the calling `java.lang.Thread`.

   * Clients must use `scala.concurrent.blocking` or `scala.concurrent.Await` instead.
