thread-safe concurrent task compilation system

how can i correctly set up locking and cancellation points for this?
the basic idea is that we call
reload for each file to be compiled/recompiled, and we call invoke_callback which will invoke methods for any successfully compiled file
reload is called via FileSystemWatcher
invoke_method is called from user code (eg, our app)
reload launches a separate compilation task to avoid stalling the file watcher while compiling files
an attempt to reload during an active compilation should cancel the current compilation and start a new compilation
an attempt to unload during an active compilation should cancel the current compilation
upon a successful compilation, we execute a callback which is called in the compilation thread, outside of the file watcher thread
this callback should also handle cancellation if an unload or reload is triggered and we (the callback) have not yet finished
invoke_callback will invoke the specified callback for all succesfully compiled scripts, and should not handle unload and reload events as we expect the methods being called to correctly handle the cancellation event of the passed cancellation token
how can i correctly address all of the above ?1 Reply
anyone ?
