What’s the best way to create a completable job as a child of the current scope? Job(parent = coroutineContext[Job]) ?

yes, it will work, but usually you don’t do this manually, structured concurrence does this automatically for you, just create a new scope using coroutineScope builder all start a new coroutine

Do you have some particular use case?

I’m implementing a TCP Server, in which I want to be able to have control over cancellation to ensure disconnections can gracefully occur and buffers can be flushed. At the moment I’m using a “quit-channel” style approach, and cancelling just the socket acceptor loop, with clients being launched into a separate scope headed by a supervisor job

I’m fully aware there’s a better and more correct approach, but I can’t think of it…

[gildor]

It looks that it should work with standard structured concurrency

just lunch job in parent scope
