Am I correct in thinking that

launch {
  singletonReceiveChannel.consumeEach { printLine(it) }
}

will produce a memory leak due to consumeEach never getting canceled, even if `launch`'s CoroutineScope ends?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

If the launch's scope or job is cancelled, consumeEach should be cancelled as well.

[David W]

Oh really? That's perfect, then

[David W]

I was thinking that since consumeEach stays suspended, it wouldn't be canceled

[bdawg.io]

suspend generally means that function becomes part of the caller's scope/structured concurrency (in this case, the launch 's scope)

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Cancellation primarily means suspended coroutines are cancelled. Running code can’t actually be cancelled unless it cooperatively checks for cancellation.

ahh, that's what i was hung up on then
