Introduction: Job and Awaiting Children

Jobs and awaiting children

In the “Structured Concurrency” lesson, we mentioned the following consequences of the parent-child relationship:

• Children inherit context from their parents.
• A parent suspends until all the children are finished.
• When the parent is canceled, its child’s coroutines are also canceled.
• When a child is destroyed, it also destroys the parent.

The fact that a child inherits its context from its parent is a basic part of a coroutine builder’s behavior.
