another questions about MDC and coroutineContext.. can i update a ThreadContextElement from inside the coroutine ? issue is this code seems natural

suspend fun doStuff() = withContext(MDCContext() + exceptionHandler()) {
   MDC.put("flow", "do-stuff")
   <http://logger.info|logger.info> { "doing stuff" } // mdc is fine here

   someSuspendFun()

   <http://logger.info|logger.info> { "done doing stuff" } // mdc was reset to the state of MDCContext ie. is empty
}

ideally what i would like to be able to do is update the MDCContext or update the

val contextMap: MDCContextMap

after i modify the MDC ( i tried, it fails in different ways ) or use a mechanism where the MDC is stored before doing a suspend call, so any changes are actually picked up TL;DR currently it leads to rather unnatural looking code and additional nesting or errors that are really hard to find

You cannot use put, it will be rested after suspend

i understand that is the current limitation, i was hoping someone with more indepth understanding of coroutine context switching might know of a better way to solve this than the current state of

MDCCOntext

or might know workarounds to update it

Take the current MDCcontext, mutate and modify it, and wrap your suspend fun with one more withContext

exactly that extra withContext is what i was hoping to avoid, making code really a lot more annoying to write and read

Maybe create an extension function for it?
