* Fix cancellation behavior.
Fix some compilation warnings.
* Fix cancelAndWait() and add proper documentation.
* Add completed(Future) and done(Future) calls to check if Future[T] completed without an error.
* Add stepsAsync() and tests.
* Fix comments.
* Fix new primitive comment, to avoid usage for task switches.
* release callback memory early
this fixes a memory leak where a deleted callback may keep references
alive until the future is finished.
In particular, when using helpers like `or` which try to remove
themselves from the callback list when a dependent future is completed,
create a reference chain between all futures in the expression - in the
pathological case where one of the futures is completes only rarely (for
example a timeout or a cancellation task), the buildup will be
significant.
* Removing unnecessary asserts, and place comments instead.
This reverts commit e45ef32b5b.
Metrics implemented this way, with a lock inside the otherwise tight
event loop are not consistent with the chronos architecture that for
good or bad uses thread local variables to avoid them - the solution
does not have rough consensus behind it, and other avenues should be
explored for this generally useful functionality.
This reverts commit 284d677815.
There is no rough consensus for how this should be implemented and
whether it's needed indeed - a use case that cannot be solved with
a queue or a lock/event should be identified before pursuing this
functionality.
* Make Future tracking optional via -d:chronosDutureTracking compilation flag.
* Stack traces is now optional, use -d:chronosStackTraces.
* Fix mistypes and add test for chronosStackTrace option.
