With a

suspend () -> Unit

, you can create a

Continuation

by calling

createCoroutine()

. How can you create a

CancelableContinuation

?

You cannot afaik. It's private to KoltinX Coroutines.

Yeah, but this starts the coroutine, I would like to create and start it later

That is also all internal machinery, but hidden away more than this. You can follow these implementations to see where they lead, but it leads to more

internal

and

@InternalCoroutinesApi

based code.

launch(start = CoroutineStart.LAZY) { ... }

will not run the code until the resulting

Job

is `.start()`ed

I read https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/compiler/backend/src/org/jetbrains/kotlin/codegen/coroutines/coroutines-codegen.md and tried to play with it.

Maybe you’re looking for suspendCancellableCoroutine ?
