Hallöchen! The context documentation gives this example:
// Stream generates values with DoSomething and sends them to out // until DoSomething returns an error or ctx.Done is closed. func Stream(ctx context.Context, out chan<- Value) error { for { v, err := DoSomething(ctx) if err != nil { return err } select { case <-ctx.Done(): return ctx.Err() case out <- v: } } } What if the channel “out” is drained very efficiently? Then, an arbitrary number of loop iterations could happen before a cancellation is detected, couldn’t it? I would additionally check for ctx.Err() != nil somewhere in the loop. Or is there a reason why this is not necessary? Regards, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
