Abstract
A device may queue a thread for execution by a thread pool, including configuring an ambient context with a cancellation token. Based on a call of a synchronous method by the thread, the device may determine that the thread uses a green threads model and identify the cancellation token from the ambient context. Based on the thread using the green threads model, the device may call an asynchronous method that uses an asynchronous operation to perform a task of the synchronous method, including passing the asynchronous method the cancellation token. Based on identifying a state change of the cancellation token, the device may terminate the asynchronous operation.
